I've used #11 percussion caps on my cap n ball revolver, just give them a pinch before putting them on the nipple and they fit and work fine. Anyone try the same with 4 wing 'musket caps'? Will they fit and work on a cap n ball revolver or modern Traditions percussion rifle? Asking if anyone has tried this considering the issue with trying to find #10 and #11 caps,
 
I have not tried, but the musket caps are going to be way too large for a revolver. I would think that they would work great on the Traditions rifle, provided the nipple cup isn't too small.
 
Ok, I see now. Thanks to Justin.44 who sent me a PM with a picture of side by side comparison.
