No. Musket size caps are much larger.
A more specific thread title would be nice.
Thank you! I figured! Would have been much too convenient to be easy!
I replaced the nipples on my 10ga navy arms with musket nipple screwed right in no problem. Replaced the nipple on my 50cal Thompson with musket nipple screwed right in no problem.

I replaced the nipples on my antique 20 gauge SXS without any problem. You definitely need the larger musket caps. Bill
If you get the correct nipple (thread) for the gun, yes. I have successfully swapped new Musket nipples for the original nipples on two T/C Renegades and both sides of a CVA 12 bore double. I did the conversions to go to a larger (easier to handle), possibly hotter/more flame cap on hunting arms. And to use Musket caps I was able to get during the drought to lighten the load on my #11 caps.
You mention #10 caps which may indicate usage on a revolver. Humm, don’t think Musket caps are going to work on a revolver but strange things happen.
original Springfield nipple size is 5/16-24 for a musket cap
