    Try a Webley mk6 conical HB bullet, Lyman do a mold for it...home cast it then use your favourite lube on it, if you like experimenting? :-) Or, whatever works for you, no such thing as the perfect load...only in the mind of the owner.

    How to get a Pietta 1858 remington to shoot well to 100yards and stop the caps falling off with recoil.

    Hi, you would need to dremmel out slighty the pocket that the nipple(s) sit in, then swap over to a rotary fine sanding disc, the metal type, then putting your chosen nipples (i used stainless steel) but it can be a factory type it doesn't really matter...The factory ones are a bit softer so...

    Glad you liked it, just showing what can be done, hollow based bullets will definitly tighten your groups up. if your using a .44 pietta then a webley mk6 conical bullet will work ok, again with 3f.

    How to get a Pietta 1858 remington to shoot well to 100yards and stop the caps falling off with recoil.

    Greetings, in answer to your questions; I'm speaking from the viewpoint of a gentleman shooter Living in leafy Surrey, England. A world very different from the American shooter who perhaps has very different laws and restrictions not withstanding a total lack of caps, powders and other basic...

    How to get a Pietta 1858 remington to shoot well to 100yards and stop the caps falling off with recoil.

    Thats the point of my idea, if you can't get the right caps for whatever reason, then these modified nipples fasilitate the use of all brands of caps not just whatever your gun usually takes. therefore making it a good idea, but I guess it comes down to personal choice. Stick with what you are...

    How to get a Pietta 1858 remington to shoot well to 100yards and stop the caps falling off with recoil.

    They do fall off, i've put this system on both of my Pietta remingtons and it does work. It illiminates all the click click bang! situations on a range thus avoiding embarresment, hence why these guns arn't as popular in the UK as perhaps they ought to be with just careful loading and actually...

    How to get a Pietta 1858 remington to shoot well to 100yards and stop the caps falling off with recoil.

    Hi, I have found an answer to cap throwing nipple issues... just file a thin groove around your nipple cones then crimp on with crimp fuse pliers your cci or number 10's 11' caps - it will crimp your cap on and stop them from falling off with recoil, a problem most cap and ball guns suffer...
