Caps
« on: April 16, 2023, 04:09:19 PM »
Percussion Caps seem to be even more of a problem now than they were last time I was active in BP.
I still have some, thankfully.
But maybe you guys can enlighten me.
What retailers do occasionally have them pop up?
And with Slix nipples, I have been able to successfully use  numbers 10, 11 and 1075.
But I know nothing about 1075 Plus. What is that? What's its purpose? And does anyone know if they work with Slix nipples?
They are not available either. Nothing is available locally and nothing is available online currently.
Any info would be appreciated.

1075+ are magnum caps. They should work anywhere regular 1075's work. They're sold as #11 caps but run on the small size.

Doc, welcome back!
You just gotta watch. Check your sources maybe once a week and be ready to strike. A while back, I found #10 Remingtons (my go-to cap for stock Pietta nipples) on sale at Cabelas (online) with no apparent limit. Thinking it was a misprint or mistake I ordered ten tins of 100 and the order went through. Went back the next day to order another ten and they were all gone... :nocomment:
Same thing with BP. Set your money aside and be ready to pull the trigger.

I bought a buttload of caps about 15 years ago. I've still got enough to last me for awhile. Mostly CCI #10 but I have some CCI #11 magnums because that's the only #11 they had. I know I have tin of open Remington # 10 because I had them out a couple of months ago for some reason. I looked for them a week or so ago but couldn't find them but I found a tin of #10 Remington still in the blister pack. Then a few days ago I was going through some of my stuff and found two more.

Doc, howdy. if you haven't already, get on the Midway Notification list. It works. When they last had some caps I got a notification. They notify in a timely manner I have found.
