A great episode. Always wanted to learn about black powder. Thanks for the information! Why are there different percussion cap sizes for the same size gun?
The recommendation is #10 but they are hard to find so I tried a #11 and it did not work well. Not sure why there are different caps for pistols than rifles, all I know is experience showed me #11 fall off pretty easy on the pistol and or they get loose and jam up the cycling of the revolver rotating to the next chamber. I also got some RWS caps that are supposed to work well but haven't tried them yet. All sorts of shenanigans learning new things.
Thank You For Sharing.... Very Cool.....

Nothing quite like learning from someone who doesn't know.
