Howdy gents! A quick question reference cap sizes (and brands) and the Ruger OA.
I fired my 7" SS OA today for the first time with 30 grains 777, wonder wad, and .457 Hornady balls. Worked like a charm, shot great (even bumped up to 35 grains).
My problem: #10 and #11 CCI caps would not fire on the first hammer strike, but went off 100% with hit #2. They were seated on the nipples with an inline capper or finger (even #11 felt too tight).
Remington caps (an old tin, no numerical size designation) seated like they were tailor made for the revolver and went off 100%, first time, every time.
So what am I doing wrong, what do I do to correct it, and should I just switch to Remmies and forget the rest?
Thanks!
