Ha! You (and the gun) shoot better with 1870 technology and home-made cartridges than I do with modern guns and production grade ammo.
I assume the cap sticking on the firing pin is more of a annoyance than anything.
Nice...
The Chassepot was built with great quality. The bore was beautifully cut and polished to perfection. This rifle is better than any Mosin Nagant or Arisaka rifles I own. I used modern components to make the cartriges. These translated into accuracy. Unfortunately, my eyes are out of calibration, otherwise the group could be better.
The cap sticking on the firing pin issue is not too bad. It just get a little harder to cork the bolt before it can be opened. When the bolt is opened, it is already off. A turn of the rifle will drop it on the ground.
