RE: Going back to a no#11 cap
lone you might should reconsider such a move. A musket cap burns 700 degrees hotter than a #11. Caps, muskets and primers are no different than anyother manufactured product, ever once in awhile you might pick up a bad one. Misfires happen with 209s as well. Make sure your nipple/breechplug is SPOTLESS and dont give up based on one misfire. The muskets are MUCH better than the 11s ESPECIALLY when you start talking about blackpowder substitutes and pellets.
Good luck,
