I just completed my first CAS match with my two new Ruger Old Army's. I shot Swiss 1.5 fg powder, and #10 Remington caps. First stage went ok. Second stage one of the fired caps jammed and slowed me down for a few seconds. Third stage one of the fired caps completely jammed up the cylinder and I could not finish the stage. Fourth stage one jammed but I was able to work loose and continue. Before the fifth stage I removed the cylinders and wiped everything down with a dry cloth. I also used a pick to clean out the nipples. Fifth stage went ok not as bad as the others but certainly not smooth enough to place to high in the stage. So my question is, does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like the guns will break in with more shooting and get smoother as they were new when I purchased them (from a collector who had bought them in 1972). Is there any type of cleaning solution I could use in the field that might help?
