I use the orange rubber gaskets that look like this (but with a much smaller hole in the middle):
They're about 1/8" thick and have never failed me. I use them on all my large pistons.

Sometimes this is caused by the narrow edge of the end of the barrel. It cuts into the rubber due to the high force. In 2 of my launchers I glued a coupler on the end of the barrel and then cut the barrel and coupler so the valve seat is wider.
The original plan was to put the seal in the valve seat so I could make the piston much lighter. With a file I narrowed down the end of the barrel to make a groove that held an o ring when the coupling was placed on the barrel. It can be seen in this photo of the Mouse Musket valve seat. It worked very well.
Mouse Musket valve seat. Barrel is thinned on the outside. A coupler is thinned on the inside. The result is sanded flat and an o ring is glued in the groove.
