I experimented once with resizing fired caps and adding primer mixture to them, it worked pretty good but that was the at time when primers were plentiful and cheap, so I never followed up on it. Just think of how many spent #10 and #11 caps we have just thrown away.

So this is not lead styphinate? I think primers for cartridge guns use lead styphinate which spews lead dust in the air (I suspect more so than the bullets themselves).
What does CCI et.al. use in their percussion caps?

Ordered one that is on the way... I have, though a lot of trial and error, set up my system and have come up with a very useable #10 cap and a musket cap.. They slip on like a glove.. I am having to print them on a raft as the individual caps don't have the adhesion to keep them on the plate. A little more plastic but it works good.
I do about 30 #10's per batch and 14 musket caps per batch.. Can't wait to try them out. Got the mix that you listed and will try mixing for a syringe injection... On my way !!
