That mess is understandable and expected … at least on my home roll cartridges. No matter as I always take a rag with and wipe off my revolver between loadings

Yep this is the puzzle for me too. It is why I have doubts about air gaps between powder n bullet. Be nice to narrow down exactly what causes injury to our firearms.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
