Using Musket Caps

[rotag84]

I've used #11 percussion caps on my cap n ball revolver, just give them a pinch before putting them on the nipple and they fit and work fine. Anyone try the same with 4 wing 'musket caps'? Will they fit and work on a cap n ball revolver or modern Traditions percussion rifle? Asking if anyone has tried this considering the issue with trying to find #10 and #11 caps,

I have not tried, but the musket caps are going to be way too large for a revolver. I would think that they would work great on the Traditions rifle, provided the nipple cup isn't too small.

You should really have the larger nipple cones on the rifle for shooting with musket caps. Musket caps are way too large for fitting on revolvers.

Ok, I see now. Thanks to Justin.44 who sent me a PM with a picture of side by side comparison.
