I'm living in a dream world where Ruger still makes the ROA and it comes with an extra cylinder that uses 209 caps.
Let's face it, the chief complaint about most C&B revolvers has something to do with the caps. If a cylinder was made where a 209 cap could be used we would get rid of the vast majority of those complaints. 209's will set off pretty much anything, no more misfires. The caps would not be blown apart and fall into the works and jam things up. We could use powders like like Blackhorn 209, which I really like in my muzzle loaders.
There is a vast difference between a No.11 cap and a 209 and I just wish we could take advantage of it.
Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?
