Musket Caps?

[dml]

This may be a dumb question. I have a TC Hawken in .50 caliber. I normally use standard #11 caps. I have 1800 RWS musket caps and no rifle that uses them. There is a 1/4-28 musket cap nipple available. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the musket caps on my Hawken? Are they too hot?

Thanks.

If you have them go ahead and use them, won't hurt anything!

No they won't "hurt" anything.
They aren't hotter, they just have more volume.
Sometimes the hammer needs a little adjustment too fit over the musket nipple.

I'd trade'm for #11's.

I would use them. I use them on my .50cal T/C New England, I like them. Want hurt nothing.

Thanks for the replies. I'll use them.
