Anyone use CCI #11 magnums? Good, bad? How do they compare to Remington #11?

where can I find any regular #11 percussion caps?  I just came into 20 year old T/C New Englander and trying to get setup. Are there any good locations in Central/North Jersey to buy caps and/or Pyrodex?

Caps are available at some NJ locations, but always best to call and make sure!

 

Dixon's in Kempton, PA as well as Cabela's usually always has caps!

simon peter had some, but pa is always a better bet

I may be up Simon Peter way this weekend, will check if so. Thanks.

 

I really picked a bad year to get into reloading AND Black Powder!  

If you ever want to shoot Black Powder with a nice group, Rob and I shoot at a Farm in Vernon and Old Bridge's Black Powder League.  And we share supplies...

I may take you up on that one of these days. Hunting is my priority right now. Bow, and trying to get ready for my first Muzzleloader season in NOV/DEC! I've only got one in the freezer so far, so I've got some work to do :-)

What kind of projectile are you planning on using? If I may, I think I have some pyrodex I could sell you if you like. I don't use it in my guns

I am shooting maxi-balls with Pyrodex. I am probably going to mold my own bullets since its look pretty hard to find .54 caliber commercially. My acquisition included about 30 bullets and a mold too!

 

I would be interested in the Pyrodex!

Yea I'll check the powder safe and see what I got. I'll give you some .54 r.e.a.l conicals too. I make them so I can spare a bunch. I find they shoot a little more accurately in my guns

I just got into the muzzle loader scene too. I've had luck with just plain patched balls. A 2-2 1/2 inch 5 shot group from a bench at 100 yds is plenty accurate for me. Plus it is way cheaper than buying any other type of projectile.

I just got started too, but going with the inventory I have so starting with the Maxi-balls.

 

I will probably try patched balls at some point. I am kinda getting hooked on the paraphernalia of black powder and muzzle-loading.

 

I like to tinker, and this appears to be a tinkerer's game. Similar vein to reloading but easier to get started.

Yoj has cci #11 

Cool, I will have to check him out on Saturday if time permits!

I noticed that to. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I have so far.

Old Bridge League Shoot this Sunday!  Pistol and Rifle!  Might get to shoot with my son who will be in-town for the weekend!  WOOT-WOOT!

i'll be there for this one 

i've been sick all week. if im feeling better by then i will try to go.

What are the hours you guys meet? 

First shots at 9 am. We start out with the pistols. Then we go to the rifles. I usually try to get there at least by 830 to help set up and stuff. Probably won't get to the rifles until about 10 o'clock. Come on down and say hi

Darn, I am a church going guy so Sunday mornings are out. If you ever do something later in the day, I can make it for sure!

We're usually there till at least 2
