RWS 1075 plus caps came in.

[Pocket]

I was curious about those RWS caps that were on sale. So I ordered them to see for my self.
In the picture below left to right.
REM#11 RWS #1075 plus REM #10
The RWS is slightly taller than the Rem 11 and slightly shorter the the Ren 10.

They worked fine on top gun with Pietta stock nipples. But a few were loose. A little squeeze solved that.
Total failure with the SlixShot on the second gun.
They also worked just fine on the Rem pocket pistol - stock nipples.
The srew barrel and the RWS just did not get along. After the 3rd strike from the hammer It was mangled up.


They do seem to fragment more than the Remingtons, at least to me.

It got dark on me so I had to stop for now.

Thank you for your report, I have seen RWS caps at stores but I have never bought any they are usually around ten dollars a hundred. I like your collection of shooters especially your sawed-off 51 Army. I had a loader like yours before I made an off-frame loader. If you take the handle off and take the loader to a hardware store and get a ten-inch piece of pipe to make a longer handle. I drilled a hole and taped it for a set screw and drilled a two-inch wooden ball and glued it to the end of the pipe. It made the loader much more user friendly.

I still have to try them out on my
Traditions vest pocket
Well Fargo
1862 Police pocket.

When putting the caps on the nipple with out a loading the cylinder, they do sound much louder than the Remingtons.

Getting caps from Cabela's and Bass Pro around here is hit and miss. Sometimes very long dry spells with no caps.

Midway had these at a decent price and I wanted to see if the worked. From my perspective they work for me.

I use that loader for my 31s. I took the center pivot rod off, and put a brass plumbing fitting on for the ram and I can load the 31 cal. cylinders for my pocket pistols.

I made one of these loaders works pretty good not as fast the other loader I made but it fits in both my bag and range box and I like using it. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...red-one-of-these-loaders.576127/#post-7121933 He also made one for a Colt pocket pistol with dept pins for the balls.

I haven’t shot my percussion revolver in decades - like since the days of Alcan and $10 a thousand Italian caps. As such, I can’t remark on how RWS work with my Navy Arms 1858 Remington. But with rifles I am a diehard fan of RWS. They have been more reliable for me than any other brand I’ve ever used.

Ill never convert! Give remington or give me death....errr...i mean free stuff. Personally have never tried rws but so long as they are better than CCi then im sure they are great. For me remington is the way to go as they petal and rarely shrapnel to peices and jam up the works if i do my part. Also i get remington 11s for 3.45 with tax locally. ...which is odd because same store sells cci for 5.99 and winchester for 6.99 which leads me to believe remington is cheaper for them when they restock. I wonder how much they pay for them?

Did you realize that you were ordering the 1075 Plus magnum caps?
I didn't realize that was what they were selling.

A user review on MidwayUSA said that they shipped him RWS 1075 Plus magnum caps and not the regular 1075's.
Midway's product page header didn't specify RWS 1075 Plus.
And the photo of the container of 250 is labeled as regular #1075's which is misleading.

And Midway now has CCI #11's in stock @ $52.99 / 1000. --->>> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1301928524?pid=995981
