Magnum caps

[Mr Nick]

Is there any advantage of using the CCIM caps over the standard caps. I'm shooting a .50 cal Great Plains Rifle with round ball.

Hotter caps for more reliable ignition...primarily brought about because of the BP substitute powders being harder to ignite than real BP

The CCI magnums are all iuse anymore. They are more apt to ignite Pyrodex and the other subs, and work fine with real BP also.

I've had great luck with the CCI Magnum caps and the Dynamite Noble 1075. The worst cap I ever shot were Remingtons. And they were the ones that everyone claimed were so good. In one tin I had more misfires then I ever had with all the other caps I have shot combined. They are a cap of last resort for me....

I use standard Remington #11's.
Never had a misfire ::

Dynamite Noble 1075 plus is the hottest they make ,there are a difference between the 1075 and the 1075 plus.
I use the them in my inlines and sidelock and they allways fire without any problems.

CCI mag have been reliable for me. Never have seen the Dynamite Noble 1075 plus. Where can a body get the dynamite caps?

I use Remington caps and they are reliable in 98% of my guns. They also pop easily in the one or two guns that I own that have weak springs. They fragment easily too so I don't have to pry them off the nipple like I have had to do with the CCI and Dynamit caps. I am considering getting the CCI mags for my Derringers which tend to misfire or hangfire with the Remington caps.

I've never been a big fan of CCI or Remington caps.

RWS Dynamit Nobel 1075's for me for several thousand shots.

 

[sidelock]

I have used all kinds of caps on my T/C 50 and never had a misfire since 1977. I am critical about being sure of a good nipple, and cleaning. I only shoot BP, 2fg. My rifle does not like substitutes. :m2c:

 

[Snuffy]

Use a magnum cap and hotter nipple. RWS Dynamit Nobel #1075 Plus are the best of the bunch.::
