Well, that's new one evenUC didn't come up with that one, last week when Cdad and Matt were here they both tried to be real diplomatic and you know how dipp - lomatic Cdad is?

It really helps me... I am one of those old military type shooters that need to feel the cheek squeezed on the stock - I believe it hepls control accuracy and recoil. With out it I have to lift myhead just a bit to get on the scope correctly because the comb is not high enough. I get them at Sportsman's or Brownell's...

As your wife would indicate "body language"

Checking in late here Savagescout, but of course I think you own a great looking rifle. :)

Trash those sabots. ;)

Bullshop 460 or 500 grain sized to .504 or .5045
Overpowder wad (1/8" nitro cardWAD-510-Afrom TOTW is my choice)
80 grains of T7 FFg or 85 grains of Pyrodex P.

You could use the #11s no problem if you had a cap hammer - sounds like you have the primer hammer on there. Tom Lodge or Doc can fix you up with a cap hammer pretty reasonable. Or..... I doubt you ever use 209 primers in that rifle so kill the tit. :D

I'm pretty much ignoring any previous mention of myself in this thread. ;)

I went to white factory and picked up the #11 hammer that is what I wasshooting with and they stillwould stick to the nipple.

I have never used the #11 nipple - just the 209 breech plug, but I can not imagine that they do not blow apart like on most every other gun.

But, even shooting the 209 I do have to pick it out also...

What caps? RWS never stay put or leave anything in the fire channel (in my experience).

RE: copper fouling?...........................Oh wait I have a brass range rod.
 

I shoot RWS with a #11 striker and still from time to time have to dig out a slice of metal from the outside of the cap. It likes to slip under the breech plug. I keep a small screw drive on the shooting table for that reason. Granted it is not all the time, but it does happen. I have also had the striker when I cock it back, pull that metal with it, and then you do have a problem you have to dig that out or it will slow the striker down. Again, not all the time, but I do watch it.

UC that might be the problem I am using rem. 40% hotter. I used these same caps in my last white a .451 whitetail with no problems. What they did in my Ultramag was on the nipple after the shot was a perfectl little cover over the hole, and the rest of the cap was gondiee. So i just had to use a little pick and scrape it away.
