rodwha. Thank you so much for your advice. I actually have read some great info on THR and other sources as well and there were many opinions. I have been reading as much as possible over the last 9 months about every aspect of shooting/cleaning/preventing chain fires/preventing rust etc. in a black powder cap and ball revolver. There is a lot of awesome information out there. I am so glad and appreciate everyone's willingness to share their experiences with those who are trying to learn. A few weeks ago, I finally decided after much reading and weighing the pros/cons and opinions and went ahead and bought Ballistol. I am certainly open to anyone else's advice as well. I appreciate your time and advice. Thanks again. Tim
