Who makes the best nipples for reliability and quality? Slix shot or treso? Anyone have experience with both?
Treso makes sizes that Slix doesn't. Have Treso on Euroarms and ASMs and they are good with Rem. # 10s . Think Slix work with CCIs bestWho makes the best nipples for reliability and quality? Slix shot or treso? Anyone have experience with both?
I never had a problem with factory nipples but if I had to swap I'd get Tresos before Slix Shot.
Curious to reasoning regarding Treso vs Slix, as I haven't used Tresos before.
I've had hot shots on my CVA Walker for over 20 years, they look pretty good for being old and decrepit. I used to shoot it lot, haven't seen any problems with them.Because they look like the old Hot Shot nipples. I used one in a rifle way back when and it didn't last 10 years.
I have used both. I prefer Treso/Ampco over Slix Shot because the spent cap is less likely to fragment and cause cap jams. Those tiny side vents on the Slix Shot nipples can really blow a cap to pieces. It doesn’t bother me at all to have to pick a used cap off a nipple after shooting a competition round, but fighting a cap jam while the timer is running is maddening!
During the C&B era, folks didn't all go out and grab up aftermarket cones/nipples so why now?
