RWS 1075 Percussion Caps

[Bad Karma]

So, like most BP percussion shooters, I’m always on The hunt for #10 and # 11 percussion caps. I found on Gunbroker a couple of sellers with RWS 1075 caps and they apparently fit both 10 and 11 nipples. The RWS verbiage even goes so far as to say that they “fit better and perform better than CCI and Remington 10 and 11 caps.

I have no experience with these RWS caps and am seeking guidance here.

I use them on a couple of my target rifles. I’ve been happy with Remington 10 and 11’s on my rifles and revolvers but I don’t know if they’re going to be available in the future so it may be RWS or nothing.

Put the nipple in a drill and file the flat of the nipple a little bit at a time and try a cap until it fits.

You’re gonna want to file the taper of the cone. The 1075 is smaller than 10’s or 11’s.

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.

I kind of suspected this was so.. Thanks!! the "plus" were all i could get when i got them.. i've never had grouping i was satisfied with even with my custom barreled rifles

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.

rws suggests the plus are "magnum" primers
