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.

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

Paco From San Diego –
Had some ignition problems and hang-fires with standard caps trying to ignite Triple 7. The extra boost provided by the magnum cap has done the job for me.
