1860 R/M conversion, 45 S/W

[Razorback Joe]

 Hi Pards,

I have a problem with my 2 1860 conversions.  I need help    At the monthly shoot I shot 40rds from each of my conversion and the cylinder became difficult to rotate.  After the shoot I took the gun apart and found that the primers was rubbing against the recoil plate   further examination I found that the primers of the 45rds were  sticking out slightly  and found that the recoil plate near the firing pin hole were dented 
Does this happen with the conversion?  If so how did you repair it?  or do I need to replace the recoil plate?

Thank you for your help.

P.S. How do you takeoff the recoil plate?

Are you using light "gamer loads"?

    Hi  FC Kid
    I do not think I'm using a gamer load. 
    165gr boolit
    4.5gr trailboss
    Lg pistol prmers
    thight roll crimp
   
    I'm changing to 200gr boolit as soon as I shoot the rest of my 165grs.
    But the real problem is with the dent around the firing pin hole.
   
    Thanks
