Russell13, you should try lube cookies or lube disks. This will be the best way too lube your gun. Theres videos on youtube as well where people compare the barrels after shooting both methods. I use a over powder card and then a thin lube disk. I always seperate my powder and lube...never let them touch due to contaminatong. It may not contaminate them much if left for a short period lf time...but it does. When the powder stick to the lube felt wads etc...the powder obsorbs some of the oils from the lube disk/wad. When i make paper cartridges i put powder, wax paper disk , lube disk, then hard cardboard disk cut from cereal boxes. The wax paper is a thin layer that keeps the powder from obsorbing any oils out of the way lube, then a wax lube of my choice, then a cardboard card , then bullet. When the powder burns it hits the very thin lube disk and iinstantly melts it to keep fouling soft. The larger the lube disk the harder it is to melt anf coat the entire barrel. So keep it thin so that it instantly melts. The powder pressure also pushes the lube towards the card sealing the groovers from any gasses escaping along the sides of the card and bullet/ball. Gas cutting needs to be prevented due to causing poor accuracy , loss of power, and larger speed deviations. Using a thin wax disk with a card will prevent this. Also using a thin disk and card are thinner than using a felt wad and doesnt take up as much space that could be used for powder.
