I shoot a 54 caliber T/C renegade using no. 11 primers. With a standard size nipple, what are the best primers to use? Remington advertizes that theirs have 40% more flame volume. Anyone know this to be true? Any others that you would suggest for a standard size nipple? I hate to change to a bigger nipple because the one I have has an "O" ring on its base. You then slide a brass piece over the top and it serves as a weather proofer and a gun safety.
I really like this setup, so I am hesitant to switch to bigger nipples and caps, but I have a friend that switched to a musket nipple/caps and says he has never had a misfire since. I have never had one in the field, but usually have some hangfires after 3-4 shots on the range.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
