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,

I think the main problem was the triple 777 draws moisture at the point were it meets the nipple first cap dried the powder second cap fired the charge.Moisture seems easy to enter the nipple area with musket caps compare to cci mag. caps
I have found that the #11 cap has to be remove with the edge of a knife that would make a tight seal The musket cap has to be pinch to stay on the nipple and can be removed easy
