CCI Offers 10 Percussion Caps For Black Powder

Percussion caps are small, metallic caps that contain a sensitive explosive compound in their closed end. These compounds, often containing mercury fulminate, are struck smartly by the hammer of a cap lock gun to explode and ignite the main powder charge. This kind of ignition system is used in many muzzleloaders, including flintlocks, and was the only practical method for black-powder firearms until the introduction of smokeless powders.

In recent years, many black-powder enthusiasts have switched over from traditional flintlocks to modern smokeless muzzleloaders that use this ignition system. These newer muzzleloaders are less complicated, quicker to load and have a better lock time. They also use the more reliable, tight-fitting percussion caps to initiate their powder charges. Despite the fact that percussion caps are not in short supply, these caps can be difficult to find at most gun stores and online retailers that specialize in black-powder shooting supplies.

To help those who are looking for a reliable option, CCI offers 10 percussion caps in a variety of calibres to fit the needs of a wide range of black-powder muzzleloaders. These caps are manufactured in a high-quality material that helps to ensure they will last for a long period of time. They are also available in a variety of different colours to suit the preferences of different shooters no 10 percussion caps.

Whether you are using the CCI percussion caps for revolvers or pistols, you can rest assured that these caps will provide the reliable, consistent ignition black-powder shooters need. These caps are designed to work with different kinds of ammunition, from the standard black-powder to the more advanced smokeless powders.

The percussion cap is a small, cylinder-shaped piece of brass or copper with one closed end. The other end is fitted with a hollow, cone-shaped piece of metal called a nipple, which fits over the open end of the barrel of a percussion rifle, musket or revolver. When a percussion gun is fired, the hammer strikes the cap against the nipple, crushing it and triggering the mercury fulminate inside to explode, igniting the main powder charge in the barrel.
