I too use a rawhide mallet..mine is about 1 1/4" dia..solid rolled rawhide & wooden handle. Be careful with brass! though softer than steel..it will leave dents! With use, those wedges should loosen up a bit.
Just a thought..we gun owners of today really baby our guns..just look at some original percussion Colts..the area around that wedge looks like an anvil on some! Some are so bad it looks like they used a rock!..Maybe they did?
