What do others do to improve the reliability of BP pistol shooting? I have always had trouble shooting my .44 BP Cap and Ball pistol more than one shot without picking out the small metal bits of the percussion cap after they have been fired, plus the other caps get jarred loose during handling and firing. These bits of used caps, or even whole unfired caps interfere with the rotation of the cylinder. No problem at the range, but if you really needed reliability, what did the oldtimers do? Seems to me there must be a way to improve reliability but I haven't found it yet. I know the conversion cylinders would eliminate this problem but I am interested in learning what they did in the old days, when they really relied on their pistols to function.
