I have been enjoying cap & ball shooting as of late. Always black powder and light loads to boot. With that comes with questions for the more experienced shooters in this field.
1. What is your preferred grease/lube to prevent accidental chain-fire as rare as it is?
2. Is it safe to use a piece of cloth/shirt to use as a patch/wadding if the ball still feels loose?
3. In your opinion what is the preferred powder charge for a Walker reproduction? 60 grains seem like a lot to me but 30 g seems too little.
(I still shoot & enjoy cartridges just not as much lately).
