Either #10 or #11 caps should work. #10's are a little smaller than #11's. The #11's provide a little better ignition with some powders. The #11's may be a little loose on the nipple, so if they are, hold the cap between your index finger and your thumb nail and bend the opened end of the caps slightly to make them fit the nipple tight so they don't come off while you shoot. The capper may be sized for #10's, and that could be why the #11's won't fit it.
Is your gun an 1858 Remington with the top strap, or an 1860 Colt style open top?0 -
Its a 1860 army

I have the same gun. I purchased it from Cabelas years ago. I misplaced the manual. I contacted Cabelas, and they sent me one for free. If they wont send you one, e-mail me, and I will look up any information contained in the manual for you.

I use 11's on mine with no problem. I agree that either your capper is bent, or is a #10 capper.
