Magnum can mean different things (not the wine bottles this time). In one category it can mean more powder. In another it means bigger and more brass. What's bigger in caps?

They were made when people complained about Pyrodex hang fires and misfires. Not really needed with real black powder.
 
You wonder why a Company, making and selling Caps, would have a product that so many complain about? Doesn't feedback alert them to a reliability problem? Just wondering.
If there were only one auto manufacturer, they could produce a car that would only start 20 days out of the month.

And the buying public would be happy to purchase it.

Complaints would abound, but the buying would continue.

Why spend the money to make something 100% functional when 66%, May or May not work, still makes the company money.
 
Old Carton.

That would completely eliminate the utter lack of New Quality Control standards.

Like everything else sold to the American public.

Quality is dropping as the cost rises.
Ain't that the truth. The same with food, reduce the quantity and quality and raise the price.
