Thanks i just ordered one.Over time, the end will start to mushroom from the hammer strikes. Depends on the material the nipple is made from as to how long this takes. Be sure to clean the nipple or nipples after each shooting session and inspect them. The flash hole will enlarge over time from shooting and cause inconsistent ignition. Get you one of those torch tip cleaning kits from a welding supply or hardware store. Be careful and don't enlarge the flash hole.
