What is your preferred brand of #11 percussion caps

[Prowler5149]

Couldn't locate any in my area (Pacific Northwest) so I bought the die and started making my own. They seem to work great, no misfire out of Several hundred I've fired so far.....

 

[Tn poor boy]

The ones you can find sorry guys couldn't refuse cci

 

[ord sgt]

I have two brands of #11 caps. Winchester, CCI. Some #10 caps, CCI. #!075 caps RWS. I have the most in RWS.

Anything I can find, but prefer Remington slightly. Just got the Sharpshooter 22LR Reloader percussion cap maker, so I’m gonna make my own. Tired of waiting on manufacturers. I wanna shoot and I’m down to 100 CCI caps.

RWS 1075 if you can get them, saving my little stash and went 100% flinters and haven't looked back. Wish I would have done it years ago, much happier, and a much better shot because of it.

 

[Whiteoak15]

CCI #11 Magnums and Remington#10. I'll try RWS 1075 if I ever can find them!

I was at ky gun co today and they had tons of cci. Even had musket caps. Cci were $10.99 a tin. I have shot cci for years and never had a problem.

Don't shoot caps much anymore, but if they go off they are my favorite. I have used many brands. A few do not fit well but otherwise no real difference between brands in use.

I thought you all might appreciate this photo of two unopened tins of Remington #11 caps I found in my reloading gear. I know I purchased them in 1994 when I got my first percussion rifle. Note the price on the bottom. I just purchased the same caps at $20 each.

I don't shoot cap guns much, and want to purchase some #11caps for a friend's birthday (if I can get them). What is your favorite?
Thanks

Lately, my favorite caps are whatever is available.

I ended up getting some CCI #11 caps for SIL birthday. He won't get all of them. The old man has to have some too. (LOL).

They are for sale on the web, but ya got to pay shipping and hazmat. Still rounded out to $6.54 a can. Some of those robbers were charging 12 bucks a can.

The Remington #10 are what was left of my stash untill Scheels just got some #11 in (I was down to only 7 caps left).
The lady said they have 3,000 of the Magnum but now they only have 2,000, there was about 1,000 of regular in the case....don't know where they got them??

Tip: you have to ask the Pet Supply Manager as she knows where they are hiding them "Upstairs in the ammo storage".
Everyone else will tell you "Looks like they are in someone's cart, sorry"
(**really, I am not kidding!)

They are out there but you have to look, and sometimes 'know who to ask'

My decades long choice is CCI either regular or magnum. IME, the Winchester reg and magnum also work well and give the same POI at 50y, so all four are interchangable. Probably is some difference, but I am not going to spend the bench time to confirm that. I'd use any of them for hunting.

Avoid Remington. I bought a batch back around 1980 that half the the caps had the priming compound fall out during shipment. The remainder were iffy, but good for testing your flinch since they so often did not go off.

 

[William Hagewood]

Winchester Magnums if you can find them!

The ones on my shelf /Ed

 

[Dusty_Traveler]

My stash is CCI, and I have had good luck with them.

 

[Wireforhire]

Recently found some CCI #11 ...to my disappointment found they were the same size as the CCI #10 that I had. So they were too small for the Job. Maybe a mixup??? Nipple size? small #11 ????? who knows.

 

[pat i.]

RWS followed by what you can find.

 

[Frontier's]

Cci works awesome for me

 

[Kansas Jake]

I shoot whatever I can find. I had a bad tin or two of Remingtons many years ago with priming fallen out on some but no problems with more recent ones purchased up to the recent shortages the last few years.
