How much pressure do ya'll put on your charge in your cap and ball revolvers? I loaded my Pietta 1860 with 35 grains of Jim Shockey's gold and it seemed to compress quite a bit and was seated well below mouth of the cylinders. I was also using a Wonder Wad. I rammed the balls down until they stopped with what I thought was enough pressure but not leaning hard on the rammer. Do ya'll compress very lightly on your rammer or seat the ball firmly down?
