Best Caps for original m1861 .44 Remington?

Post by Oyeboten »

Tried out my m1861 Remington .44 Cap & Ball Revolver today at the local Gun Range.

Wonderful! Accurate, smooth, really nice in every way.

The only disappointment was in my choice of Remington No. 11 Caps, which seemed to fit nicely but they would fall off in recoil! So, that part was no fun.

I am not sure what Caps to get.

Should I get CCI No. 10s? ( which are minutely smaller in ID ), or, should I get Remington No. 10s, which are the same ID was the Remington No. 11 Caps, but are a tiny bit longer.

Any advice?
