I started using Rem #11 caps when I started shooting black powder. Some years later, unable to locate Remington caps, I fell for a can of CCI #11 caps.
I had a particularly tough time both seating the CCI caps and removing them after firing! More than once, I have used my pocket knife to literally "scrape" a mushroomed, unfired CCI cap from a pristine nipple. After a CCI cap caused me to miss shooting a deer, I uncerimoniously (sp) 'planted' them in the wheat field adjacent to my stand and have never purchased anything other than Remington since.
Good advice!
Be certain "dry firing" hasn't "mushroomed" nipple to the point that the Remington can't be seated.
Be absolutely certain cap is firmly seated on nipple.
New nipples are cheap!
