I've seen them but $175.00 per 1000 with no guarantee they will work, no thanks, I modified the nipples to take the RWS and it shoots very good.

My experience has been the opposite with my super companion. The RSW tend to have quite a few misfires but the CCI number 11's have very few.
Now for all my other cap and balls the rsws are 100%

Muzzle-Loaders.com is the proper site and it is not a scam site have bought from them many times with no problemsMuzzelloaders.com is a well known scam site.
What a difference a hyphen makes.
You’re going to approve of them. Good German product ( I think)
I wonder if RWS realises the hole in the market that CCI isn’t able to fill?

That's strange because my super companion misfires like crazy with the cci #11 caps. And I hate to keep pimping my homemade caps, but they work flawless on it so I've stuck to using them only.
I second that. Recently bought my avatar picture 1863 pocket model from them and shipping was fast and there was no BS involved. Every bit as good as Midway.

RWS makes 1075 and 1075 plus caps..... i've been using the plus,,, has anyone tested the plain 1075? i seen lots of posts saying 1075,, are they just leaving out the "plus"?? When i bought caps a couple yrs ago.. all i could find were the "plus" version. (The plus is considered a magnum cap). powder valley has both in stock.

Could be wrong, but I think I asked this question a couple years ago and the packaging suggests a difference, but they are all the same.
How did you determine they are all the same?

Now that I look at it. My question was about the “Dynomit Nobel” vs. the yellow regular, but someone was able to convince me both the green and the yellow were the same, though I still can’t remember specifically why.

Well the "Yellow tin" and the "red tin" both say 1075 plus on the label and they are both made by RWS so I would say they are the same. I believe there is a difference between the 1075 and the 1075 plus.
Did an un-scientific test years ago with various caps by measuring the distance each cap would launch a light piece of plastic (some would call it a sabot) out of a barrel. The 1075+ showed significant more power and consistency than the 1075 and other caps. Although I have and use other caps, the 1075+ has been my choice since.
What kind test did you do to determine there was no difference? Or are you going on internet lore?
As a note, i typically only use blackpowder, but if I were shooting a sub that requires more heat to light up than blackpowder, I would want the strongest cap i could obtain.

No test. Someone on this forum was able to point me to something on the package that convinced me they were the same.

The plus caps are too hot and cause vertical stringing in my target rifles.
Years ago when I shot on the US Int'l Team we were given a quantity of powder, patches and caps for free.
On one occasion all
that was there were the 1075 Plus caps. No one took them, so I guess I wasn't the only one.
The CCI musket multi purpose caps..
I don't get it.. they pop just as loud as the RWS.. I think.. I mean they got pop.. what's up no fire.
It kinda worked every other cap or two with BP... and you know I gave up after 12 caps pyrodex..
The RWS.. fires the pyrodex right off...
Like why even make junk like that..but what why.. why would they make such a thing for.. like we need a cap that works sometimes...

I have 3 tins of the plus. They fit slixshots just fine and fire every time on my revolvers. I certainly wouldn’t shy away from buying them if they were all available. I alternate between Rem, CCI, the RWS. I really dont notice any difference.
