I also tried epoxying very short lengths of copper or brass tubing around the caps. Nothing was wholly satisfactory and in the end I gave up and used my Rogers and Spencer for both classes. We used to shoot an Open class for any Revolver and then a Spirit of the Original for fixed sights copies of original Muzzle loading revolvers.
I must say I have never had a problem with fired caps jamming in the frame. The only problem I've had is caps not igniting the powder, this was cured with a new set of nipples.
