G W Wade Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Found a guy with 2 boxes of Rem #11 caps for trade. My friend needs Rem #10 but we don't know what #11's are used for. One source says same as Rem #10 but shorter skirt. Plus picture shows a box like regular primers, not tins!! Next question is how old could these be. See a lot of really old stuff dug out of storage due to shortages. Thanks GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Can’t say how old yours might be, but Remington was making #11s at their Lonoke, Arkansas plant within the past couple of years. I bought some from a buddy CAS shooter who worked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Usually are used for rifle. I have some but they won't fit on pistol nipples as the nipples are tapered and the skirt does not go far enough down to be snug. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Rich Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I believe those Slix nipples are tapered, the proper caps go on easily for almost the whole length then must be seated the last little bit so they won't slide back off. kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 What I have been doing the past few years with Slix nipples is use #10 Remingtons for the first two stages. After the nipples are dirty I switch to #11s. Works well and helps ensure the cap is fully seated on a dirty nipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nubb1650 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Slix Shot nipples appear to have a slight taper,but the Rem#11 seem to bang just as well as the# 10"s. I always seat caps with a antler tip for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
