I’ve used .005 sheet brass from Hobby Lobby, it works fine. It take a little more force to punch out the cap.005
Hello I have tried it and it works sometimes and sometimes not very unreliable. Go to 22reloader.com and buy their primall powder mix works great only issues are that it is corrosive and it don't stay in the caps good but that can be fixed by either spraying hairspray on them once they dry or when you are mixing them mix a little bit of glue in with the acetone you mix the powder with when it dries it stays in the cap good and they are as reliable as store bought primers and the powder mix is only like 20 dollars for enough to make 2000 primers.I am interested in rolling my own #11 percussion caps and recently received the tool to do it with.

I recently watched a video of a fella making his own percussion caps with roll caps as his ignition source. Although he demonstrated that the homemade percussion cap will fire, he did not actually fire the pistol (a revolver, in this case) loaded.
Has anyone used roll caps as an ignition source and will it actually work.
Just make sure you clean you gun good after you use it that stuff is very corrosiveI recently picked up an order of Prime-all, but have not used it yet. Nice to hear that they are so reliable!
