RWS CAPS-1075 PLUS

[IT47]

Looks like the bolt screw and the trigger screw need to be switched.

1075 Plus did not seat on the Slix shot nipples very well today, I always double check my caps by pushing them with a piece of wooden dowel. Even after that I had to drop the hammer on 4 of them a second time to get them to go off. Now my stock of 1075 Plus are a little older so maybe the new production stuff will work fine on a Slix shot nipple. YMMV. With that said, what others have said about RWS is spot on they are on another level than other caps IMO.

Thanks a lot for the research!

And thanks everyone for answers. Waiting for my package of Plus, and will also report here.

All I can say is, get rid of the rest and get the best, RWS Dynamit Nobel No. 1075. I've used these from the start of my journey with black powder rifles and cap and ball revolvers. I can not think of any negatives, only positives with the 1075. In my opinion, they are the very best.

Recently available at both Grafs and Powder Valley.

To include Powder Inc and Buffalo Arms too; looks like the cap shortage is over. Nobody likes the price but there's plenty available. Don't understand why we have caps from Germany and Spain but not the U.S.

I use the 1075+ they are hotter than the cci. They are also waterproof. Supposedly can soak them in water and shoot them with no issues. Honestly I never tried that. I bought some yesterday in PA, $35 for 250. The cci were $15 for 100

Or, because CCI and Remington are now Czech owned?

Ive had more misfire off RWS than others. Rems / CCI fire every time. RWS+ iffy. I got 3 250 tins that stay home. Will use as last resort when all others are gone. Slixshot nipples.
Wasn’t the caps perse, they wouldn’t seat full. So hammer has to strike once to seat fully then 2nd strike to fire. Others dont have that problem.

1075plus caps are LONGER than 1075. Most nipples are tapered, need to really PUSH the plus caps so they seat all the way.

So here’s my update:

Received 1000 RWS Plus caps from Buffalo arms for $220.

Uberti 1858 .36. All old factory nipples, and one new for #11 caps AMPCO from Buffalo (took several different threads to figure out mine, since the Uberi SlixShots didn’t fit my old gun from 1960-s).

Result: all caps went off. 100% reliability. They used to fall off from only one factory nipple. New one - no problem at all.

Anyway, they get really blasted and fragmented - Rem chews them with no problem - no jams occured. But the next batch will be regular non-plus. I hope that they will fragment less, because I dream of a Colt )))

I received an email this morning that Muzzle-Loaders.com has both the RWS 1075 and 1075 plus in stock. They require a signature for the hazmat delivery. If you are away and not home to sign for it, you may never get your delivery. I dislike the signature thing.

I stopped at Dixie Gun Works yesterday , I saw three tins of RWS 1050,s on the counter, I ask how much for a tin of 250 ,she said $45. I said I think I will stick with CCI, she said good luck if you can find them. I told I bought them last fall at Walmart for less than $6 a hundred. Powder was $32 and change per pound.
