Yep, same problem and I use number 11 caps on mine also. It's a matter of the nipples just being oversized because everytime I use a wooden dowel to really push them, it'll fire them on the first strike. It's become so irritating that I was solely using the red ring caps on it until I had the...

I've also done a bunch of reading here about the other members that started making their own percussion caps with the prime all kit and saw their mixed results. I have to say that I got the process down pretty quick and easy. I can make 100 caps in a sitting. I made a plastic tray that the cups...

Wow, I'm actually surprised in the interest in my little project here! The funny thing is that it was a complete afterthought. I had done all the research I could on the FH42 composition and bought all the components and then realized that I didn't have any cups to make it work with. I also...

I guess I could. Never thought of it until now. I'm going to make an improved design tomorrow and I'll see how long it takes so I can determine a reasonable price.

I built a 50 caliber airgun that launches 325 grain lead bullets at (1587fps was max so far), and ohio says I can't deer hunt with it 😒

Yes. I'll take some measurements of it tomorrow when I get into the shop. It definitely works way better than it should.

Like many others here, I'm tired of being gouged for percussion caps and I've really gotten into the hobby with my new 1858 Remington and the NAA super companion cap and ball. The NAA actually works well with the red ring caps like you'd use on a child's cap gun but I had one go off as I was...

Didn't grind my potassium nitrate fine enough for the sugar based propellant test to ignite but got my first paper cartridges made.

I'm new myself to black powder and muzzleloaders but it was always my understanding that once you got to a certain level of powder, the "excess" would remain unburned. And after watching some guys on YouTube do an experiment by filling the whole barrel of an inline and ramming a saboted round...

Gonna see if sugar based propellant works in my 1858. See "rocketcandy".

.006

Hence why I make my own.

I used to live in Blanchester. Been through Clarksville a bunch.

I never really thought about that. I'm already an ffl and imagine that I would need another license from .gov if I wanted to make primers and caps for sale. I do have a really good system to turn out a bunch though.

Cincinnati-ish area.

What I'm calling flashing is sheeting I can get fairly cheaply that's .006 thick. Brass would work as well but it's more money. I just want percussion caps lol.

I'm making my own priming compound but don't want to use the garbage caps that you can punch out of soda cans so I'm making a die that will form nice caps from aluminum flashing. I'm big on form and function.

If they only take zelle, bitcoin, etc.... and not credit card then you can definitely put them on the fake list.

For a kid, you're much more articulate than I was at your age. I also don't see why you're getting the response you are by some folks that were likely the same way when they were 18. I get it, you can't carry a firearm so you're going to use what you can. Throw 30 grains of your favorite 3f...

Hi all. Just signed up after lurking for the past few days. I'm a licensed gunsmith here in Ohio that's just gotten into black powder a few weeks ago. Already started making my own powder and primers as well. This all started by getting a NAA Super Companion, a little 22 caliber cap and ball...
