caps

[starmac]

Has anyone used any Dynamit Nobel caps. they are # 1075 made in Germany. I thought these might fit mt revolver, but they still need pinching.

[DIRT Farmer]

Some of the off hand shooters swear by them for target work.

[starmac]

Thanks, I had never heard of them, and at 7.99 a tin or I suppose a plastic I don't see myself using too many of them. lol
As far as I know they are the only ones available in town right now though.

[Reaper]

The ones in the red plastic "tin" ? Yes. Mostly on the Lyman plains rifle and deer stalker. They leave a little more residue than the Remington and CCI caps.

I just bought 3 tins. it was all they had and I have bought them before but I can't recall if I ever used any or not. They seem a little smaller than the #11s but fit my rifles fine. I got them for 6.99 which is about what caps are running now, it you can find them at all.

[starmac]

I may go back and get some more, as they are pretty scarce here. I tried them on the pietta, and they were not small enough to not need a little pinch.

[Pb2au]

They have been my cap of choice for a long time. Very very few misfires with them, and I've probably popped thousands of them.
They do require a slight pinch when used on my 1860 army, but other than that, I do love them.

I just bought a sleeve of a 1000 for 54.95. they are all I use on both the target rifles and the muskets.

[OuchHot!]

The 1075 plus is more or less the equal to #11. Some revolvers need a #10. I really like the 1075 as they seem to fit tight and give good accuracy.

[starmac]

Well I went back and bought 4 tins (plastics). That was all they had left, and no other caps of any kind. They did have way more ball choices and the biggest stock of pyrodex than I have seen there for several years.

[horsesoldier]

I love em. Never again will I use cci caps. I had alot of duds when I shot those

[HARRYMPOPE]

caps havnt been hard to get out in Ea. Wa.state for the last few years.I didn't know they were in short supply other places.

[starmac]

When Obummer took office I was caught off guard, and didn't bring my caps up whem I brought the muzzies. It was probably 6 months before I was able to buy my first cap. lol

They are not in short supply at my house, I just intend for it to stay that way now. lol

[andreadavide]

They are nearly the only hoice of caps available in Europe. Sizewise they are between your #10 and #11. Most of the Italian replicas (Pedersoli, Uberti, Chiappa and Pietta) have their nipples designed for the 1075.
Quality is German, 'nuff said, I've shot thousands of them and never had a miss.

I have used Dynamit Nobel #1075 caps for years on rifles but not on revolvers. CCI and Remington #10 caps work great on my revolvers, they fit snug right out of the can and I haven't had any misfires with either one.

[starmac]

I am starting to wonder about sportsmans. The other day I bought all the caps they had out (4 tins) was there yesterday and there was 5 more, so I bought them and intend to check tomorrow and see if there is 5 more. I'm starting to think they are just putting enough on the shelf to keep the price up. lol

[Southron]

Dynamit Nobel percussion caps are some of the finest ones around.

CCI quit production of their 6 Wing "Hot" Musket Caps because some Dumb A** re-enactor had an eye injury (he wasn't wearing eye protection) sued them because he had a 6 Wing CCI Musket Cap frag on his musket, I have been boycotting ALL CCI products.

[siamese4570]

I used them on my t/c new englander. when using any other cap and pyrodex, it would hangfire. these caps solved the problem. they seemed to be a little hotter than the cci's.
