i have found that, just as reliable but way more corrosive, use the cheap plastic cap gun caps... and they never jam up my remmy... but you really got to do some good cleaning of your nipples after shooting, they will get cligged up with that paper they use on those things. which, incidently, you can peel off. just pick at the paper with a needle then pull it out with tweezers... they are almost 100% reliable that way...
Hey Bruce, you're getting around some these days.
Maybe reliable with real black but only about 2 out of 6 set off Pyrodex.
