I believe you, but Pietta recommends 9-12 grains.
I believe Pietta does that to avoid any litigation. 9-12 gr is a fairly anemic load.

I believe that too. So I'll start with 11 and try 1 by 1 loads till 20. My guess is that I'll settle for some load in the middle.I believe Pietta does that to avoid any litigation. 9-12 gr is a fairly anemic load.
I thought we're supposed to clean nipples by sticking nipple pick through them?I have a nipple pick my father gave me but haven't needed it in the few years
The ??? in my prior post means "What the hell is this!?"
...but I'm just now learning that from here:

Why one package contains 300 of them and not 6? Does that mean when the cap "explodes" that the cap keeper gets damaged too? But they wrote that they're "reusable".
If that will prevent pieces of spent cap to jam my revolver, I say this is good invention! Why hasn't anyone mention that this exists? There was a lot of talk here recently about problems which spent caps can cause.

This nipple pick is 0,9 mm in diameter (the seller confirmed me that just now) - is that ok for the nipples on my revolver? http://www.emshootingsupplies.com/store/p368/BRASS_3-IN-1_TOOL.html
How wide is the hole on Pietta Navy nipples? I see now around the web that some mention it's 0,75 mm.
Yes, when you take apart your gun and clean it completely. But what if I just want / need to clean the hole of a nipple, and I won't / can't clean the whole revolver? Wouldn't the nipple pick be useful then?I use an old plastic toothbrush to clean my nipples after hosing them down

Thanks drobs, saw that video half an hour ago. I can't buy cap keepers so I'll make my own, the cost will be around zero. Can anyone find anywhere - I'm trying unsuccessfully for the last 2 hours - how wide is the hole in a middle of nipples on Pietta Navy?
