So you probably have read my other thread where I'm having problems now that I didn't use to have about getting my #11 caps to go off. The first hit seems to just push them on further. You have to re cock it and re shoot before they go off. My buddy is telling me how #11 caps are probably the problem which I'm not sure I disagree with. He told me I should go get the musket cap nipple and some musket caps. That they are much much better and will probably go off. Is this worth trying? Are they really better or is there a downside to them?

Just wondering if that might fix my problem or if I should stick with #11 caps.
