When I first received my Old Army my father also gave me a few old tins of Remington #11's. They would slide off of a few of the nipples so I bought some CCI #11 magnums.
These often require a second strike to fire.
I bought nipples from ToTW that were designed to be used with CCI #11's, but behave exactly the same as the stock nipples.
I recently went by BassPro to pick up #10's. They only had the Remingtons. I tried them once I got home and found that they seem to fit perfectly. I haven't been to the range to see, but they seem good to go.
Wish they would have had the CCI's in stock as they are much cheaper!
I recently viewed a chart of cap sizes (diameter):
CCI #10 0.160"
CCI #11 0.166"
Rem #10 0.167"
Rem #11 0.166"
How is it that the Rem #10's are a hair wider, yet fit snuggly when the #11's slide off of a few nipples?
