How large should a percussian cap touch hole be?
Source a series of bits and get a new set of nipples. Drill out the hole as little as possible and test until you get more blowback than you like. Then drill the replacement nipples to the diameter just before the one with the excess blowback and you are set, You could also get nipples that utilize the tophat type musket caps and try that. Or, try hotshot nipples.
