Real-World Use Information

Using cci percussion caps 11 components ensures immediate, consistent powder charge ignition in both real black powder (FFFg/FFg) and synthetic black powder substitutes like Pyrodex or Triple Seven. The soft copper ribbed cups expand slightly upon hammer strike to seal the nipple face, preventing blowback gas from entering the lock mechanism. Traditional black powder hunters appreciate the weather-resistant formulation, which resists moisture degradation when sitting in damp hunting stands or woods environments.

Compatibility & Requirements

• Nipple Compatibility: Fits standard factory #11 percussion nipples found on Thompson/Center, CVA, Traditions, Lyman, Uberti, and Pietta muzzleloaders and revolvers.

• Capping Tools: Fully compatible with standard straight-line and universal star cappers for rapid, secure nipple placement in the field.

• Safety Gear Required: Always wear eye protection when capping and firing black powder firearms. Ensure the nipple flash channel is completely clear of oil before seating caps.

Pros & Limitations

Pros:

• Non-Corrosive Formula: Eliminates harsh chemical residue that damages nipple threads and breech mechanisms.

• Ribbed Shell Design: Allows easy handling and positive friction fitting over varying nipple tolerances.

• Clean Burning: Leaves minimal solid residue inside the nipple flash hole, ensuring consecutive multi-shot reliability.

• Durable Tin Cans: Protects caps against crushing and humidity during backcountry hunting trips.

Limitations:

• Not for Musket or 209 Systems: Designed exclusively for #11 nipple nipples; will not fit Musket nipple cones or 209 breech plugs.

• Size Variations: If your nipple cone is slightly worn or undersized, you may need a #10 cap for cap-and-ball revolvers, though #11 remains the universal standard for most rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between #10 and #11 percussion caps?

A: #11 percussion caps are slightly larger in diameter than #10 caps. While #10 caps are frequently used on tightly tolerance cap-and-ball revolver nipples, #11 caps are the universal standard for traditional side-lock rifles, shotguns, and many black powder handguns.

Q: Are these CCI #11 percussion caps non-corrosive?

A: Yes. Modern CCI percussion caps use non-corrosive, non-mercuric priming mixtures, making them far safer for historic and modern barrels than old corrosive mercuric formulas.

Q: Can I use CCI #11 caps with Pyrodex powder?

A: Yes, CCI #11 caps generate ample heat to reliably ignite Pyrodex, Select, and Triple Seven black powder substitutes, as well as genuine organic black powder.
