They're expensive.
-
Wow. $38 per tin. Crazy.

Fine Print:
This is a tin of 250 quantity revolver caps made by RWS. These caps will work with #10 or #11 nipples. Caps are required to ship Hazmat and must ship separate from firearms.
Still Pricey though
-
Everything is pricey these days. It's good to see them available.
-
I haven't checked lately but at the height of the pandemic my LGS had CCI #11 for 8.00 per 100. They're probably cheaper now.

Wow. $38 per tin. Crazy.
Mathed it, it's not HORRIBLE... works out to about $.15 or $.18 per cap. and the fact that they are Bi-Nipple is a win.
(got the email, cupped the debit card, and then thought better, my LGS where I lived and am moving back to seems to have a decent supply of CCI at an equivalent pricepoint)

I've only found RWS 1075 caps once many years ago, before the Slix Shot nipples became available. They worked fine on factory nipples then. I would like to have "practice time" cap for now and save my Remington #10s for Cowboy matches. All my current guns have Slix Shots, so I would be interested to see how the RWS caps would work with them.

RWS 1075 is sold as a #11 cap. 1075 is just their part number. 1055 is their #10 cap.

Good afternoon everybody.
I'm running out of caps and I didn't find the answer if RWS 1075s fit and work well with the Slix Shot nipples. Do they?
Thanks,
Steamburn

Can't say for sure, but I've used them in the past and seem to recall they fit both #10 and #11 nipples. IIRC the SlixShots are #11-ish sized?
-
Yes, they work.
Rem. 10's = CCI 11's = RWS 1075'S
-
Yes, they work.
Rem. 10's = CCI 11's = RWS 1075'S
I use factory nipples. RWS 1075 are too big. Remington #10's fit good. CCI #10's are tight but they're all I use. CCI #11's are too big.
-
I have several revolvers I bought new, both Pietta and Uberti. There is no consistency in the size of caps that work with each revolver. I always have four sizes of caps with me. That's the argument for Slixshot nipples. Change all your nipples to Slixshot which are sized for #11 caps. Look at the link below for a list of the caps that Slixshot says fit their nipples.

I can't afford $40 per revolver so I'll keep carrying several sizes of caps
-
Thank ya'll for your input.
Ordered 3 tins (250 caps ea)of RWS 1075 from Powder Valley.
That should last me for a while.
I'll report back when I get to use them.
