Hello,
I have a Rogers and Spencer Revolver and noticed when shooting with #11 caps sometimes they fall off. Am i supposed to be using #10 caps? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

For the time being,pinch them a little bit out of round while you use them up. If they are CCI#11s then try the Remington#10s. The CCI #10 are likely way too small. The remington #11s are a shorter #10 (Rem). Depending on the diameter and taper of the nipples and diameter and length of the cap there are a lot of variables. I have found the Rem#10 to be the most versatile as it swells to fit a larger variety of nipples than any other cap.
