the fliers I saw for the BFR always said "biggest, finest, revolver"

could be a Contender as well, or one of those big Buffalo Arms ( if that's not correct, I forget the exact name ) 45-70 revolvers...

the guys that suggested the pistol primer issue are one of the most likely issues... even if you are loading for a 45-70 handgun, you still need to use rifle primers, as that is what the brass is formed for, & large rifle primers are the same diameter, as large pistol, but a little taller...
