VTbowman Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Whats the diff between #10 caps and #11 caps? Are they the same physical size? One hotter then the other? In other words, will they fit onto a nipple designed for #11 caps? My co-worker went to pick up some stuff for us and got these CCI #10 caps for me. He said he was told they would work on my specific ML. Appearently they did not have any #11 left. I have been using #11's made by some German company I can not even begin to remember the name of. Or if I could, would not be able to spell it! I wanted to swap over the musket caps but can not this year. Just to many other things require ALL my money.. LOL IE: the wife... D-oh!

VTbowman Posted November 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Re: Whats the difference...??? So no one knows if there is a difference between a #10 and a #11 cap???? Come on folks. AJ? Triple Se7en? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Re: Whats the difference...??? I did some research and found that the #10 refers to the cap being 10mm wide. Same for the #11 caps, they are 11mm. It has nothing to do with one being hotter, or have more spark, then the other. So my guess is that a #10 cap will not be very good on a #11 nipple. Or it may just be tighter... Not sure yet, and will not be able to test this until Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so...... #10 caps were designed for use in percussion revolvers. They are a smaller size and not suited for use with a gun designed for #11's. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: Whats the difference...??? Yep I am a fool. I figured that out several minutes after I wrote it. LOL 10mm wide would be heck of a cap huh! LOL I am hoping everyone got my point. the #10 are smaller and did not work.. Thanks Hangunnr for pointing out my mistake.
