You'd have to change to an #11 nipple to use #11 caps, but don't bother. The musket caps are better.

As a follow up to my above post. Are you sure you're getting the breech channel clean? Are you hitting the barrel to get the powder flowing into it. Nipple nice and clean?

Nothing cleans better than pumping soap and water through the barrel. How do you clean?
