Hello folks,
First time poster here. I just bought my first ever muzzleloader - a Traditions Hawken caplock. I'm super excited to shoot it and, fingers crossed, take it elk hunting depending on how the CO draw goes. So, I'm having what I imagine is a common problem right now - I can't find #11 caps anywhere. My local pawn shop has Triple 7 209 primers, so I just want to be sure: I can't use those on my stock Hawken, correct? I assume I can't, bit haven't seen any concrete info out there. Anyway, like I said, a newb question. Very excited to enter the world of black powder, either way!
