Best nipples for #10 cap?

[fireman1]

I've got a Pietta 1858 Rem. I have not had a problem with CCI #10's in it but I want to swap out the nipples. I've got a pile of CCI caps so I figure I might as well buy new nipples that work best with those.

What do you guys recommend? Tresco? ToW? Slixshot? Any others I should look at?

Thanks!

You want nipples that have the same cone height. I have one revolver, an 1858 NMA, that requires a longer cone. It won't fire standard CCI #10, CCI #11, or RWS 1075, but will fire CCI #11 Magnum. These caps are loose and even after pinching will jam the cylinder no matter how carefully I hold the revolver to cock the hammer to rotate the cylinder.

It's not just the thread size but cone length too.

I found nipples for #11 caps with a longer cone that seem to work much better.

Tresos only work with #10's

Tresos only work with #10's

I looked at the Treso nipples and they say only use #11 caps?

I fitted my Pietta New Army with SlixShot nipples.
They work great with the CCI or Remington caps.

#10's?

I have been shooting #11 Remingtons and #10 CCI both with them. No issues.

My Dragoon has Tresos and only Remington #10's will work
