my Piettias and myUberti both prefer #11's
The 10's are too tight and sometimes need 2 hammer strikes to fire! Not good!
I just pinch the #11's and press them on innally with a small wooden dowel The pinch usually holds but the stick is double insurance Rarely does one fall off from recoil.
Remingtons are nice pliable metal and hold their shape well, RWS are too soft, CCI's are too hard metal and often fragment into the actionof Colt Clones.
Remington priming compound ALWAYS fires!
I have found that the Colt design is prone to jaqms fragments caught under the hammer, and pieces falling between the frame and cylinder. The Remington design only has a few problems, mostly tighy tolerances that require quick clean-ups on the cylinder arbor,
Crisco seems to alleviate many Remington problems but,elts off on the first couple shots leaving a possible arc-over space for chainfires, I prefer to seal the xylinder with cloth (soaked) revolver wads. they give the barrel a quick wipe too
Cap availabity has been impossible lately
1 I finally found some and bought 6 tins so I have some on hand. I also bought 2# of Pyrodex just in case.Who knows what Obama and his Anti's will do next?
I can't believe how hard it must've been in the old days, trying to keep your revolver running!
BTW, great section here, lots of info!

I still need to stock up on balls and wads.
