I found a really good deal locally on some rws 1075 plus caps. Any issues with these? I think I've read they're very high quality and guys like them a lot

I think they are made in Germany and I have wondered where the German and Italian caps had gone
Is Remington still making caps? Who were the others,I had some Winchester caps and may still have some

I have I need to turn most nipples down a little, but they work fine. BTW, i use a cordless drill and a file.
Lots of people say they are a little hotter than CCI.

Very dependable and consistent caps. Lots of the serious chunk and table shooters use them.

They are longer and might require you to modify a nipple especially for them. I bought 2500 of them during the shortage. They work well, but if you seat them on a nipple that won't allow them to go all the way down, they will require two hammer falls occasionally.  Easy to modify the nipple with a drill and a file and sandpaper.

Started using RWS caps in 1974 and buy them whenever I see them. I stocked up on CCI's and Remingtons some years back, still using those today, but think VERY favorably about RWS caps.

I picked up 1500 for $100 from a local guy. Pretty good deal considering store prices and shipping/hazmat fees

Congratulations on the great find.  Yesterday, while browsing the hunting section of a local store, I saw CCI caps being offered at $15.99 per 100.
