Percussion Caps.I think it must be the shape of the nipple ,but I find that with size 11 CCI ,I get 3 out of 6 misfires but with No 1075 Nobel I get no...
Try using CCI #10 caps, they fit just right. Also you might want to try Pyrodex pellets, which makes loading these revolvers easy- just drop in a pellet, then...

... The hammer would be the first thing to check. I had the same with a Cabela's Hawken I picked up quite a few years back. The guy sold it cheap because it...
Before trying any of the bending, cursing and hair ripping stuff I suggest you first may want to try a larger size cap. jim7115 <jim7115@...> wrote:...
