uld rate her an 11 though.
Anyway, I guess you are talking percussion caps. I have to agree with Gayugad on the std CCIs. I've had a few hangfires with them. The CCI Magnums are pretty goo

I think Marissa Torme is a good 10 - I don't think I would rate her an 11 though.

I also picked up a bunch of Winchester #11 Mags at Walmart at the end of the season for something like $2.50 a tin. I hope they work good cause I grabbed about 5 or 6 tins.
I like those Winchesters. That's what I've used. I've used Remingtons also and they were okay but I wasn't too found of them. The Winchesters seemed slightly better when it came to missfires but I also figured out after cleaning it I needed to shoot a few caps through it before loading it or it wouldn't fire most of the time. I'm not sure if the Remingtons were my problem or if that was as I've been doing it now before using the Winchesters.

RWS Dynamite Noble is the best that I have ever used.

I have had good success with CCI standard#11 and with the CCI maginum #11. They are easy to find on store shelves. My advice to you is to use the old ones for practice and try different brands and find which brand your rifle likes best.

If you experience problems with hangfires or misfires you mighttry using regular black powder. It dosen't take as much heat to ignite as some of the black powder substutes.

If you want to eliminate some of the problem you might consider getting a musket nipple and some musket caps; in some of my inlines I use the in preference to 209 primers and they are very consistent in the Hawken and Renegade. Lee
