[Woody Morgan]

What's the difference?

I shoot both. They go bang and I can’t tell the difference.

 

[Bassdog1]

I have used both and no difference in performance that I have noticed in my small bores. I buy whichever is available when I find them.

 

[FishDFly]

It's a marketing ploy.

There's a little more detonating powder in the magnum cap. I have a pistol that would not fire a standard #11 cap but will fire a #11 magnum cap.

 

[B P Maniac Shooter]

I'll shoot any #11 cap I can find.
I doubt if there is any difference other than the color of the tin.

I looked at Natchez and they state the standard is for all black powder. Magnums are for pellets and synths.

What kind of price difference is there in y'alls neck of the woods?

 

[Woody Morgan]

Natchez is $80/1000.

When I can find them locally they are almost always CCI Magnums $8.99 a hundred hanging next to Remington #11s for the same price and I usually pick up some of each.

The magnum caps are good if you are using fake black powder cause they have a somewhat hotter flame. They are not necessary if you use real BP, but with current conditions use whatever you can find.

I use which ever I can get,and have not noticed any difference.

And if anyone can explain the current shortage of almost ALL primers, please let me know. I had to go on Gunbroker the other day as every supplier I tried had "Out Of Stock" for almost every doggone primer I saw.

I find no difference in the two, local big box store here, asking 15.99 a tin for magnum. Ask the employee why so much, his answer, they are magnum! Lol. Another store asking 5.95 for cci # 11, just crazy stuff.

 

[tom_in_vt]

I need to find some! I’ll take standard or magnum!

 

[nightwolf1974]

What ever makes it go bang! Although I prefer the RWS 1075s for everything!

 

[Grimord]

I need to find some! I’ll take standard or magnum!

Natchez Shooting Sports currently has CCI #11 caps in stock. 1000 count.

i used magnum caps when i had a misfire in my caplock. just to see it that would work. 80% of the time it worked! just one step before removing the nipple to pack the fire channel.
in use i chrono'ed a 22 inch 54 interarms once and as close as i could tell there was 25-35 fps difference between the cci 11# and the Magnums.
