Aren't all BO caps of a certain # all supposed to be the same siZe regardless of lot or manufacture date etc? I finally ran out of my old stash of Remington 11's, so I went and bought a new package of Remington 11's as well as a pack of CCI 11's to try. The Remington package says "new and improved" Remington caps have a 40% hotter spark for better ignition and shows a pictorial description of such. The CCI I have not ever tried before with my BP revolvers. Well it takes 10 minutes to load a cylinder with either brand because they hardly fit on the nipples! Tried new nipples thinkin maybe mine were a bit blown out and same issue. I would try 8-10 maybe 12 times per nipple with different caps out of the package until I would finally get one to seat all the way, then move on to the next chamber and start all over again. Is this something others have encountered? I'm not all that experienced with black, having only gotten into them a couple years ago and only shooting them maybe once a month compared to weekly with my modern stuff. Anyway, I never had this issue with my old stock of Remington caps but now this is a nightmare and takes a lot of the fun out of it sadly. Any input is appreciated as always!
