I changed a nipple.

Yup.
You can pinch the caps, and then make sure they're well seated with a bit of antler or bone, but the right sized nipples will be miles better.
I tried pinching but didn’t like the results Took my rifle to Old South Firearms in Argo AL. The fixed me up, now no worries with ill fitting caps.
Not sure what Cones work. I got the Slix Springs cones and those were no better than the existing on 3 other guns.
What did improve the problem was getting RWS 1075 Caps. Regardless of size designation, those fit.

Weird. I've got At least 7 sets of Slix Springs nipples spread out between pietta/uberti 1858's, walkers, pockets, 1860's & 1851's. They all work perfectly with CCI #11 caps.
Track of the wolf nipples also fit #11 caps well.
I don't have any regular RWS 1075's, but I have a ton of 1075+. They fit well on #11 nipples, but the copper is thinner, and the extra primer compound makes them explode. End up with mangled pieces jamming stuff up.
Need to get some regular 1075's to try.
