This video from Guns of the West addresses the interchangeability of CCI #11 and Remington #10 percussion caps for cap and ball revolvers. While both have the same interior diameter and fit standard nipples, the Remington #10 is slightly longer, providing better purchase and reducing the risk of caps backing off during recoil. The instructor advises vigilance when using CCI #11 caps, particularly on .44 caliber revolvers, to prevent chain fires.
