Has anyone tried the new WINGLESS musket caps?  I notice they are about 1/2 as expensive as the winged caps....

Why, for shame on your Monsieur Crooked - there are many who aspire to use large bore ML in Bufallo matches, some of which use the muskets caps! I personally use a musket nipple for my .1863 Sharps to introduce as much fire into that painfully circuitous and meandering fire channel as possible.

However Monsieur Scrounger,  some several years ago I haunted the local WallyWorlds during end of hunting clearance sales and acquired a good 8 or 10 tins of standard musket caps at an obscenely low price , so it is not likely I will be trying the new ones...

But excuse me Prof Marvel.....you should wipe the dust of yer Sharps and commence using those caps for thier intended purpose.
900 caps should only last perhaps 4 or 5 range sessions.....then when the need arises to purchase more caps you will remember the wingless caps are 1/2 the price of the top hat caps......

I use wingless exclusively on Muskets and Carbines. I have been very happy with wingless caps.

Just about any sutler at an NSSA Skirmish, or most larger reenactments. Anybody who deals in RWS Caps should be able to get them. Gamaliel Shooters Supply in South Central Kentucky stocks them. Dixie may have them. Just about anywhere you get real Civil War shooting supplies.

To Cuts, I shoot pistoleer and if we have a stage with only 6 rifle shots or so, I plan on breaking out my original Smith carbine, which uses the above mentioned caps.  The style points would be phenominal.
