I currently have several black powder revolvers and would like to shoot them. I'd like to buy some caps and balls, but am wondering what size would be most appropriate. The Uberti manual simply states to use the appropriate sized caps. What I have so far consists of:
Uberti Colt Clones:
Dragoon in 44 cal
1860 Army in 44
1861 Navy in 36
Uberti Remington clone:
1858 in 36 cal
1858 in 44
Colt:
1851 Navy (1975 vintage repro I think).
I'm confused because my searches seemed to indicate that the sizes used can be different based on manufacturer (of both the gun and the caps and balls). I'd appreciate any tips you may have.
Thanks
