Sharp Shooter

Good response - The only time I even touch a cap is when I load one in the capper, usually @ home. I always wonder why people say that handling them (#11's) in the cold is difficult, but then again all of shoot somewhat different...

I use a capper and Remington #11 caps in my inlines , they've always worked just fine . Never felt the need for a hotter cap , even with Pyrodex pellets .

"I really believe these new Remington caps are just as good as the Dynamite Nobel 1075+ and the CCI Magnums." I think so too.

While flame volume may be greater with a musket nipple,that flame still has to go through that tiny hole in the base of the nipple, which I suspect has some kind of limiting effect on the amount of the flame that can get into the barrel breech, perhaps?

Yes, handling #11 caps is not such a problem if you use a capper, which I agree is a necessary acessory for a hunter.......

RE: musket caps
 

The recent past Remingtons & current CCI Mags were/are not in Dynamit Noble/RWS elite league. There's a noticeable difference in spark & sound right off-the-bat. Some feel ear protection is necessary when firing three Dyanamit caps prior to loading your first shot.Some Dynamits are so potent that they totally disintegrate upon ignition. I've had 15 or-so in my last 100-pk that left no trace of existence -- absolutely nothing left to remove after ignition. The best part about them is their consistency from cap-to-cap. I never had a bad one. With prior Remingtons & CCI-Mags, there would be times when misfires would occur. One look at the cap-inners would explain why. Some had good coloring -- some didn't. Nothing worse than poor quality control with products.

If Remington has a new one that matches the Nobels, that would be outstanding. Being I have around 700 Dynamits left in my case, I have plenty of time to hear field reports on any new #11 Rems.

I use them in my System One its way more accurate with them than #11 or 209 and much cleaner shooting. I wish I had a breech plug for the Omega that would use them. Lee

RE: musket caps
 

The new Remington's do have as much spark as the Dynamite Nobel 1075+ caps. Those are the two caps I will be using.

With a capper handling #11's is really easy. I have the rifle version and it holds more than 75 caps. it is really worth the money. It is kind of a pain putting all of the caps in with the open end up but once you get them in just keep them in until it runs out of caps. I use this at the range and I will use it hunting. It still has not ran out of caps yet. I really suggest you guys give it a try. Even the 209 and Musket versions are helpful. The first link is the one I have (rifle version) the second like has some others.
