What is the difference between #10 and #11 caps. I feel this is something I should know, but do not recall.
The #10's fit snug on my nipple. So I bought an extra tin of them at Fort Chambers yesterday. The forecast for tomorrow is rain. I may end up loading the percussion for the first day of buck here in PA.Good on ya for finding it.
basically 10's where for revolvers and 11's where for pistol/rifle.
But these day's there is no "standard" size, each manufacturer has their own tolerance.
But nipples for ML's are sold as fitting #10 or #11 caps,, and as you've found #10 are smaller then #11,,
,so buyer beware.
Ok, found more info in the Dixe catalog. Should have known to check there. It's a wealth of information.
Here's something I gleaned off the internet a while back. Hope it helps...View attachment 975
