I think.....

....That the only chain fire event I ever experienced personally was because of a poorly fitting cap.

This was on a Brass frame Sheriff's 1851 pattern. I don't believe the problem had to do with the non battery cap banging against the recoil shield because:

1. It only happened once
2. I did have a tough time getting the caps to fit on the nipples

I don't believe it came from the muzzle end, because:

1. The bullets were tight fitting...shaved a ring pretty much all the way around.
2. I greased all of the chambers as I always do.
