I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

[SimmerinLightning]

I am not having any of the problems I had that last time I fiddled with percussion revolvers. Back then I had constant hangfires and failures to ignite, where the cap popped but did not light the powder. By the time I finished a cylinder, there would be so much crud and grit it would barely turn. One time I wasn't able to clean until the next day, and when I did the bore looked like the inside of an old waterpipe. And the last time I fired my 1860, all six balls got stuck in the forcing cone, so that I had to pull the wedge and remove the barrel, ram the ball out and reassemble. Six times in a row.

I am not having any of those issues now. I fired this gun three days in a row and when I finally cleaned it, the bore was spotless. I don't know what I'm doing differently but I am much happier today than I was back then.

Obviously, you have done something right.    Totally unacceptable.  Go back and do it again.  Screw it up right this time. 

You have obviously reached the END of the INTERNET.  Go back and start OVER 

Tiz some kind of fun when a plan comes together.  Once one learns the little nuances and fickleness of Cap Guns, they can be incredibly FUN!!  So much so they will create an ADDICTION!!    The only cure for this addiction is to acquire more Cap Guns.  And Caps!!  Yessss!!

Remember, you gotta have real BALLS to play wid Cap Guns!!
