Remington #10 Percussion Caps (100/50)

Remington #10 Percussion caps deliver the dependable ignition black powder shooters count on, packed 100 caps to a box. If you shoot percussion firearms, caps are the heartbeat of every single shot. A weak or inconsistent cap means hangfires, misfires, and frustration on the firing line.

A quality cap means the hammer falls and the gun goes off, every time, which is the entire game in muzzleloading. Remington is one of the oldest and most trusted names in American ammunition, and that manufacturing consistency is exactly what you want in a component this small and this critical.

What Remington #10 Percussion Caps Are Built For

These are ignition caps for percussion black powder firearms, sized number 10 and boxed in quantities of 100. The smaller number 10 size grips nipples that leave a larger cap loose, which matters enormously on revolvers where a dropped cap can tie up the whole cylinder. Fit is function in this corner of the shooting world.

The intended user is the caplock rifle shooter, the percussion pistol owner, and the cap and ball revolver enthusiast whose gun calls for the smaller size. Number 10 is one of the most commonly called for cap sizes, but fitment varies between makers and models, so always confirm the size your firearm’s manufacturer specifies before you load up on a case.

Specifications and Their Practical Effect

The specification list is short: size number 10, quantity 100 per box, manufacturer Remington, and intended use on percussion black powder firearms. Each of those lines answers a question a black powder shooter genuinely asks before buying.

Size is the first and most important. Percussion nipples were never standardized the way modern cartridge dimensions are, so the difference between a number 10 and a number 11 is the difference between a cap that stays put and one that shakes loose. If your gun has been eating caps that fall off, the smaller size is worth trying.

Quantity of 100 gives you real range time. Between load development, sighting in, and the practice that actually builds skill, a box goes faster than new shooters expect. Caps are also the component shooters run out of first and think about last, so grab a few boxes at once.

Field Use, Cleaning, and Storage

Use a capper to seat each cap fully and square on the nipple cone. Full seating is what turns hammer energy into a clean flash, and a partially seated cap is the single most common cause of a click instead of a bang. Wipe the hammer face and check the nipple channel between strings. Remington #10 Percussion caps split cleanly, but fragments still need clearing before the next shot.

Fouling builds fast in black powder guns, so run a nipple pick through the flash channel regularly and clean the bore before the residue attracts moisture. Store your caps sealed and dry, well away from solvents and oils that can kill the priming compound over time.

Keep your possibles bag stocked for the whole season, and pick up the cappers, pouches, and cleaning supplies you need from our Apparel and Gear collection while you are here. A complete kit is what separates an enjoyable range day from a frustrating one.

For hunters, reenactors, and cowboy action shooters, a box of Remington #10 Percussion caps is the cheapest reliability you can buy. Remington has been at this a very long time, and it shows in every hammer fall. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
