Caps for C&B question


Snake-eye, SASS#45097

Recommended Posts

Subs like APP and Triple 7, and the pellets for 50 caliber rifles are supposedly harder to ignite, so a "magnum" percussion cap was designed to do  a better job.
I only use real black powder, so I have never tried them.

But, when my pard Coffinmaker sets off his pistolas filled with APP and a remington #10, a discernable "pop--bang" can be heard.

I think it has more application in rifles.

HA!!

 

Not actually Monsieur Prairie Dawg.  The only time I get a distinct "Pop-Bang" is when I screw up and leave a little space between the Ball and the Powder.  Shame on me.

 

To date, I have found absolutely no advantage to so-called "Magnum" Caps.  No difference in ignition at all.  I would suggest your CCI #11 "Magnum" can be used interchangeably with "others"
