I have an Old Army that I changed the nipples out on to the ones offered by ToTW that still retain the hex head outer dimensions, but have a TRESSO inside dimension. They are said to be designed with CCI #11 caps in mind.
Rem #11's will fall off of a few of them, and CCI #11 magnums often need a second strike to set them off, but fit nice and tight. I've used a dowel to help push the caps on, but it doesn't seem to help.
I have also chucked them in a drill and used some emory cloth to work them down a little, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Rem #10's work great so far (~50 shots).
#10's just seem impossible to find now, yet there are plenty of CCI #11's magnums. I've yet to see a non magnum CCI #11. Do they exist?
And so I've wondered if I were to upgrade my hammer spring if it would possibly be enough to set off caps that don't quite sit against the nipples correctly? And what would it do to the operation?
I like the idea of being able to fire several types of caps instead of doctoring up the nipples to work with 1...
