I can’t believe in 50 years of shooting muzzleloaders I’ve never asked this but here goes.
What exactly is the difference in #10 and #11 percussion caps? I think I once read it’s not the diameter but the length.
On the Hawkin I built I use Hot Shot nipple. It’s never seemed to be particular about the cap size. However I have a Navy Arms shotgun that I have a little trouble with caps falling off. Plus I have a few times that the cap doesn’t pop on the shotgun. I’m thinking of replacing both nipples with 1/4 x 28 Hot Shots. I wonder if I’ve been using the wrong size caps. Any thoughts ?
