More news from the novice

You said, "the nipples are more to blame than the caps".

My problem is that I assumed incorrectly, that my successful use of nr 10 Remingtons on the ROA (My one and only ROA in which I have yet to change nipples) was an indication that the choice of cap size for the pistol is nr 10 regardless of who made the caps.

Now I have learned that it don't work that way.
 
I have found it easier to find a revolver to fit my caps. I must have over a dozen different tins of caps and no two alike. I just go through my revolvers till I find a good match and then that tin stays with that revolver.
The only revolvers I have found that I had to change nipples on are Pietta Remingtons. The angle of the nipples, and it seems the hammer always hits them on a new revolver, deforms them.
