Perhaps a straight sided one with the top of nipple counter sunk to allow max flash through the nipple and minimize any flash around the outside of the nipple (?). Using Hahn tube of 1.38 with moose mold bullet per Charlie recommendations. Cartridge ends up flush with the breech. Dont know what you mean by sealing it, other than I am using hair curler papers white glued to the end of the tube, if that is what you mean. The flash channel appears clear. Taking out the screw and using a pipe cleaner, it is visible through the holes.
Does anyone know if there is a hotter cap?
If the fire channel is too large, I wonder if a sleeve could be put in horizontally to remedy this?
