Real-World Use Information

Choosing cci percussion caps 11 magnum components eliminates the frustrating “click-bang” hangfires commonly experienced when igniting pelletized or coarse-grained synthetic powders. The magnum priming formulation produces a higher-temperature, longer-duration flame pulse than standard #11 caps. Furthermore, the ribbed copper cup expands upon impact to form a tight gas seal against the nipple cone, keeping blowback fouling out of your lock mechanism and preventing moisture intrusion during late-season freezing hunts.

Compatibility & Requirements

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

• Powder Compatibility: Formulated specifically to ignite modern black powder substitutes (Pyrodex, Triple Seven) as well as traditional FFg and FFFg black powders.

• Safety Gear Required: Always wear protective shooting glasses when capping and firing black powder arms. Ensure the nipple ignition channel is dry and clear of oil or grease before seating caps.

Pros & Limitations

Pros:

• Hotter Flame Pulse: Delivers increased heat energy to prevent hangfires with pelletized and synthetic propellants.

• Non-Corrosive Formula: Prevents harsh chemical pitting and rusting on nipple threads and lock assemblies.

• All-Weather Ignition: Provides dependable ignition in extreme sub-zero hunting conditions and high humidity.

• Ribbed Copper Design: Friction-fits securely onto #11 nipples to prevent caps from falling off during field transport.

Limitations:

• Not for 209 or Musket Systems: Designed specifically for standard #11 nipple cones; not compatible with Musket nipples or 209 breech plugs.

• Higher Flame Output: On older, delicate vintage cap-and-ball revolvers, standard #11 caps may be preferred if light powder charges are used, though #11 Magnum remains the ideal choice for hunting rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between standard CCI #11 and CCI #11 Magnum percussion caps?

A: CCI #11 Magnum caps utilize a hotter, higher-volume priming mix designed specifically to ignite harder-to-burn black powder substitutes like Triple Seven and Pyrodex, whereas standard #11 caps are intended for traditional organic black powder.

Q: Will CCI #11 Magnum caps fit my standard #11 nipple?

A: Yes. The physical dimensions of the cup are identical to standard #11 caps; only the internal chemical charge and heat output are increased.

Q: Are CCI #11 Magnum caps non-corrosive?

A: Yes. They feature modern non-corrosive, non-mercuric chemical formulations that will not damage your barrel threads or nipple face.
