Brasspounder

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Griff... Thanks for the suggestions.. I'll check em out. BP

I have one of those, but the finished product is not suitable at all for CAS competition revolver shooting..

I never did care for CCI caps...they tend to fragment irregularly and tend to tie up the revolver on the recoil shield. Remington caps never had this problem and tend to open up into four neat petals and just fall out the side when you cock the revolver for the next shot. I typically find only one or maybe two still in the cylinder nipple recesses when clearing the guns after a stage. MIsfires and cap jams never were a problem with the Remington 10's or 11's. I hope the OLIN outfit gets them back on the market soon! They do list them in their product line. RWS caps No. 1078 also tended to work well, but I haven't found any of those anywhere for a looong time.

Where are you Frontiersman shootists getting percussion caps these days? I want to stock up for next season if I can find a place to get a thousand or so...

I like 2 Drams n 1-1/4 oz shot Number 8 , 7 1/2, or 6. Thats 2 Drams which is a volume measure, about 54 gr VOLUME of normal granulation black powder. ` A Dram is about 23 grains Volume. I like to use the "old time" measuring with BP. If you shoot Pyrodex, RS or P, just measure it the same way as you would BP......same VOLUME.
