I personally think you can gain a lot more accuracy and distance by shooting a 350 grain Thompson center Maxi Hunter or 370 grain Maxi Ball conical projectiles instead of shooting a round ball and patch. The round balls work in smooth bore flintlocks . Your barrel has rifling . I tried shooting round balls out of my old TC Renegade with rifling . They weren't terrible. But they were not anywhere near as accurate as the conical bullets.
I have 3 muzzle loaders that are not inlines. I have 2 TC White Mountain Carbines and the TC Renegade. I have never had an issue using #11 caps. I did have an issue with delays on one of the carbines when I tried one of those Uncle Mikes Hot Nipples. I couldn't throw that thing away fast enough and put the original nipple back in. Never had an issue with any or the original parts.
