Cap not tight on nipple

[TrapperDude]

Yes you missed something. No I haven't tried a new nipple. Yes it's a single shot pistol a CVA mountain pistol .50 caliber. See original post for my question please.

The nice thing about that is that you can crimp away and not worry about chain fires if you ascribe to loose caps as a potential cause of them.

Mountain pistol

I also have a mountain pistol, 50 caliber. My favorite pistol.
I have both CCI and RWS caps for my pistol. The CCI's fit a little loose so I just pinch them a bit, no biggie. The RWS caps fit nice and snug.
What are you shooting for a load?

Just got it haven't shot it. Just debugging before use. I'll start at 20 fffg and work up.

Very accurate pistol. I've had mine for a while now.
Been try different loads in mine and have settled on a hunting load for it. 45 grains of 3f Swiss powder and a 240 grain PA conical bullet. I may up the charge to an even 50 grains.

That would be one destructive chain fire--and people think one pistol carried AIWB is dangerous...

I was going to start a new thread on this very subject but it mainly consisted of a few questions. Why do caps from different manufacturers vary in dimensions?And another being, Why no industry standard for size? Is there a reason?

Because they have always done it that way....
