I will use nothing but Rem or CCI caps. The RWS caps had me picking pieces of caps out of my nose and chin. Good thing for safety glasses. RWS and Italian caps really make you bleed. I now only use them to clear the nipples and hold the gun upside down.
 
The Traditions site says they use a musket cap. Maybe the configuration requires the musket nipple and cap.
I looked one over at my local sporting goods store and I believe this is correct, and it seemed to me it came equipped with a musket nipple. Overall quality seemed quite good. IIRC, it is a 28 twist so it is pretty much dedicated to conicals. They have several models in stock that I looked at so I'm not sure on that. The confusion about 'stainless' is understandable because in some of the adds I saw online it said cerakote and stainless. I think it is only cerakote, as mentioned. SW
