I seem to be getting too many soft primer strikes, at least one or two per cylinder. You know, you drop the hammer on it once and nothing, and then on the second strike it goes off. I always figured I'm just not seating them well enough. So I make it a practice to push down hard with a wooden dowel. Still no joy. I guess the combination of my light hammer spring and RWS 1075 caps was going to be a problem...
Then I saw a guy named Paul Harrell on a youtube suggest a method of seating the primer caps that I'd never heard of before. He said to seat each primer with the hammer of the gun. He said to rotate the cylinder around and press forward on the hammer on each primer.
So I tried it...it worked, It worked like a charm. I seated each cap just as I normally would with my snail capper and then pushed forward with the hammer with my thumb, muzzle pointed down range of course. I did not have a single failure to fire.
