Help! - Caps fall off 1858 Remington
A few weeks back, I bought a Sweeeet Ulberti 1858 Remington New Army Stainless 44 Cal revolver. I am loading 25-30 grains of triple-7 FFF, a Lubed Wad and a 454 Ball.
My problem, the #11 caps fall off the nipples after shot #1!!!! How do I get them to stay in place????? |

I pinch my caps to get them to stay put.
You might try some #10 caps. |

My last one required a #10 cap. mine are Remingtons and these are readily available and if you did not get the manual with your, contact the manufacture and request one.
Be Safe !!! |

I have the same gun, Remington #10's will solve the problem.

Remington #10s fit my 1858 perfectly...but CCI #10s won't even begin to seat. I can use #11s if I pinch them on, but Remington 10s are the best fit by far.
