They fit loose and gun fired every other trigger pull. It got a little better when i tightened the drum a little
How about the face of the hammer? Is it possibly not square to & flush with the cone's tip when "fired"?
Most side-lock hammers I've seen have a lip around the face & its not easy to see the actual striking face itself. Does the hammer face actually contact the nipple fully?

How hard are you pushing the cap onto the nipple?
it should be a tight, not a loose fit. Sometimes you need a reasonable amount of force to seat the cap fully & some are (understandably) a bit under-assertive when capping.
