New Brand Of Caps to Me

[FishDFly]

Was in a local store this afternoon and found a new brand of percussion caps to me.

Winchester, have never seen them.

They had regular No.11's and Magnum's in No. 11's.

Use to seeing CCI and Remington.

They had a good supply, I bought some to try them.

How much were they?

During the previous unpleasant difficulty of obtaining caps, we found a supply of the Winchester caps. They did work for us.

I've used Winchester percussion caps. They worked fine.

I use them all the time.. Walmart used to have them when they have thier muzzleloading supplies. This year they didn’t have anything as far as caps went.

 

[FishDFly]

How much were they?

They were $6.09 per tin.

Glad to hear that they are okay.

Yes sir, nothing wrong at all with those...

If I am not mistaken, Winchester percussion caps are repackaged CCI's.

Ya there are only 4 makers of caps on Earth. Two in the US, one in Germany and one in
Brazil. CCI probably makes them--makes sense. CCI are good caps but require a solid
strike against a nipple with good impact flats. That is my understanding. But that is a good
price today.

That was my guess as well. I tried some in my ROA, and velocities were consistent with what I'd been getting with CCI.

Someone knowledgeable told me that they were made by CCI.

Found them at Gander Outdoors. They have a fair amount of ML stuff. They even had a Tradition's percussion kit and complete revolver setup.
