Got into black powder this year with a CVA rifle a friend gave me - and then bought a Pietta .36 revolver on a whim. It is fun and my first group of three shots was way tighter than I expected.
However, I am getting frequent misfires. It always fires the second time after I replace the cap on that chamber. I am using the same #11 caps I use with my .45 rifle, which is an extremely reliable igniter.
I pinch the caps a little to make them stay on the nipple and try to press them in tight but still 2 cylinders usually misfire.
Are these caps just too big? Thanks in advance for any ideas. At the moment I'm thinking of giving up the revolver and buying a single shot bp pistol instead.
