The first half dozen times I shot my new .50 Hawken it worked fine. Then the cap would fail to detonate on the first try consistantly. We're talkin' Winchester #11's. I would really push the caps on hard with the hammer, to no avail. I entertained the idea of getting a bigger nipple, cap arrangement. Then I started to snip the cap skirt vertically with a pair of small snippers. Problem solved.
