I like the reviews: "Too Big!", "Would be helpful if they said #10 or #11"

I think they try to keep the details on the product as vague possible to bypass Amazon's policies. I don't think you are allowed to sell percussion caps on Amazon, I think these slipped by because they are "reenactment".

Yes, but I think "Musket Cap" should be enough to let them know that it's not a #11 or #10.

@#blackpowderbill only took me 30 seconds to be thankful for my ability to make my own. Not musket but I don't need musket caps.

On a side note, I can shoot musket caps on my sidelock guns but does anyone make a nipple that allows shooting #11 caps on a musket?

Pretty sure Track Of The Wolf has those.

I’m a big Amazon shopper. Very odd to see these on Amazon. $24 with free shipping also means the seller is bypassing hazmat shipping. I bought 1000 #11s from cabelas a couple weeks ago and after shipping they ended up being $16 a tin.

I'm about 99.99% sure TOTW has nipples for just about every gun you can imagine. I was also told by the manager that you could call if something wasn't listed on their website and they could see if they could get it.

Those reenactment caps don't do well for live fire though.

A customer of mine came to my shop with some REALLY OLD caps, brands and dates from the 1800's. And I am sure they would not work well. He was cleaning out a old barn on his ranch(YONCALLA Oregon). They look pretty good, but a over a hundred years old. I've tried Winchester caps from before 1900 and had a lot of duds. But the containers look nice on display

Yup, I almost fell for it, too. Apparently they'll ask you to contact them for their PayPal info, and ask you to send the payment via F&F. Which for anyone unaware, gives you no buyer protections.

As a note on the Amazon musket caps, I picked up a tin of those. Despite the photos and description on Amazon showing reenactment caps, the tin I got was marked multi-purpose, which are supposed to be a bit hotter and work better for live fire than the reenactment caps would.

I used to have one on a 2 band rifle, but I don't recall the brand. But they should be available.

Who has seen ANY # 10's lately? I truly believe they are a thing of the past

I seen a guy walking by at the gun show with a couple 1851 colts. After a nice visit I ended up buying them. We shook hands, and he goes: "OH yeah, this goes with them." And handed me HD plastic bag about the size of a pillow case. It was full of flasks, powder, balls, no10's, and various other stuff. As much as I shoot it is most likely a lifetime supply no 10's .
