here's my dumb question du jour ... what size caps do these cap making gadgets make? #10 or #11, and can you adjust the size?

Watched a video a few weeks ago of a guy making them. He said they work just fine.
He's not wrong....work like a charm

I've been tinkering with the one from 22Shooter or whatever his name is, the Prime All kit he sells. I must admit I'm impressed with his compound. I tend to go a bit heavy in the homemade #11 caps I'm tossing together, and there's no question in my mind that the Prime all Mixture will light off BP even better then CCI #11 caps. I think I know the majority of what the chemical ingredients in his compound are, the main one being Potassium Chlorate. I don't know how hard it is in today's world of paranoia to get these chemicals... my intent solely be to make #11 caps and primers, but I guess I will try to order some of them and find out.
The #11 Percussion cap maker is not fancy, and the caps appear a little crude out of Aluminum can material but it does seem to do what it's intended to do. My girlfriend ordered some hobby lobby thin strips of Copper and I'm curious to see if the softer metal makes a more aesthetic looking cap. My current homemade caps would be fine on a sidelock, but using those in a revolver would just be asking for jams and issues.

I thought the same thing with copper. I think it would form better than aluminum.

The Prime All mixture is correct and all you need. Just mix and use as directed.
Been using them in revolvers without problems. I don't think how purrty they look is a real deal breaker.

Yes, wth Hillary's defeat the hoarding and panic buying stopped.
True, and that 4 years was plenty of time to stock up. Old saying, "you snooze, you lose".

That's true, but it doesn't really help the new guy just getting started.
The new guy is really going to need some help from all of us.....I guess this is one of the worst time to get in to just about any sport or hobby....damned shame.
greedy insatiable people dont care about anybody but themselves but make like they care about others
Awwww, come on, do you need a hug today?
