I did these years ago and when my spitfire nipples come in, I'll try to capture some new videos.

Custom nipple - I used a Factory Steel CVA Nipple and made it into a shallow hollow base. I personally prefer a hollow base nipple as it prevents any fouling from being built up in the drum on my Traditions.


Factory Hotshot flat based nipples.

Standard CCI #11 caps were used.
