Well this is interesting...
Since 1963 I used #11 Remington, Navy Arms, and some Italian made caps, and the German 1075's, and lately CCI's on ALL my revolvers, past and presently owned. For 42 years I've pinched #11's on to my old ASM 2nd Mod Dragoon and was happy as a clam. I bought some CCI #10's and they fit like a glove on it....Guess I was doing it all wrong all those years! They didn't fit any of my other revolvers though....still pinching those #11's on them
As to the heated discussion going on......gentlemen, please....I'm just an old man that feels that one must learn something each day to keep the stagnation from forming on the brain so to speak. And I guess its the cop in me to try to keep the peace, but let's be honest, ALL of us have opinions about things. We ALL learn from one another, and most of all, we should respect each other as fellow blackpowder shooters. I'm not taking sides here, but I am asking that you both have a point and even if they differ, let's respect each other as much as we respect our chosen sport of BP shooting huh?
Now if you want me to butt out and go to another forum, ok, I can do that too. I gunsmithed for almost 35 years, yet my degree was in law, not an engineer or a chemist. Most of the weapons I worked on were DA revolvers and autoloaders used in law enforcement, but I did my fair share with my re-enactor buddies on a multitude of BP weapons. Cap size and nipple tapers aside, nothing is truely perfect right? Let's leave it at that...... We can agree to disagree and still be friends.
The defense rests......
