I agree with the Capt., try replacing the nipples, or
reducing the powder load.
My Patterson was tempermental (like my wife), and
didn't like full loads. And was notorious about
burning out nipples.

That's interesting Magpie, I'll have to ask about this. I'm not the ex-girlfriend just the younger cousin, but have know several of his former ladies over the years when still in PA. (maybe that's why he left in such a hurray??).
Thanks
Nate.

Howdy Nathan,
I forwarded your note to Buck, so you should hear from him soon. I'm a little reluctant to give out his email address because you may be that x-girlfriend he keeps talking about...<G>

O.K. I know I post a lot of questions but then, I know I need a =
lot of answers. I've been shooting my Patterson and the caps blow apart =
and tangle the cylinder. Are there any caps made that won't do that? I =
think it is because they are made too light weight (like aluminum foil =
weight). There are little bands that go around caps to keep them from =
blowing apart but I don't want to use them. Any ideas?

Yeah, it's great! I received answers online and off that really helped. Remington caps do work better. The type I was using were too "hot". Remembering to dump the cap out will take some practice; I forget every now and then, but I'm working on it.
Interesting thing about reenacting or using old technology is how it relates to understanding the past, and understanding people's reactions to certain historical situations. If historical people had to deal with problems in technology, I want to know what those problems were. Once I'm certain modern technology isn't introducing problems that did not exist in the past, I'll stick with it till something works; most likely it will involve the same remedy they employed.
Not only do I learn about the past as I build and use historic gear, I also feel a sense of accomplishment I can't get by going to the sporting goods dept. and buying enough plastic gear to go camping for a weekend. I have a great respect for reenactors who go 100% with old technology. It takes a lot of effort but it has its rewards. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Lee,
When I was growing up my Uncle and his son (my cousin) would take me out to shoot cap & ball guns every Sat. morning weather permitting. This was in the early 60's, powder was hard to find and everything they used was original, guns, molds, and a devise that made caps. Now that was a 'iffy' situation for having ignition in those days. By the mid 60's Turner Kirkland would make runs to two or three places in PA in a year and have powder, caps, cast balls, this made shooting much easier.
With this in mind think what our fore fathers went thought to shoot there guns?
Nate.
