    ROA cap size

    Sorry, having a bit of a senior moment - what's the recommended percussion cap size for the ROA, is it 10 or 11 (Remington)?
    thanks

    I use Remington 11 fits well never had an issue, splits nice and comes off easy.

    Original ROA nipples are #11 - however, recently I've been finding out that what used to be #11 are often #10 - CCI caps, that is. See if the dealer will let you try one of each from the same lot before you buy a thousand...

    There is something going on in Idaho that is causing all kinds of problems with CCI stuff these days - I wish they'd get it sorted out.

    I went to pantiles about 2 months ago looking for RWS 11 Caps, as they seem to work the best for size... But they didnt have any, Went 2 weeks ago and they still didnt have any, theyve usally got plenty of Remington 11's though. Am I right in thinking they also stock BP?

    VERY good and hot - ideal for those who use the harder-to-ignite subs.

    Get 'em if you can.

    Remington 11s work fine for me - that's with 777.

    Sorry - duff info on my part then. its certainly more than 2 months since i was last there. He did tell me he was stocking powder, but obviously a phone call before hand might save a wasted journey.
