Probably asked before but I can not find it.
Concerning Revolvers, I personally I use lubed wads over the powder.
However why do we need Wads or Grease ?
If a properly sized ball is inserted into the chamber it cuts a ring all the way around the ball
and the cylinder is sealed.
I'm thinking if a spark can't get past a felt wad or some grease, how is it going to get past a solid hunk of lead ?
