OK so I'm curious what everyone is using for their black powder revolvers. If you make your own wads or over ball grease please share your recipe!
If i was in the texas heat all day i would adjust my grease mix to suitI would think that grease would attract more dirt. Also, wouldn't the grease melt out if you're carrying the gun around in the texas heat all day during the summer?
Im pretty sure it does prevent chainfire blacknet but its probably a mute issue if the ball'Grease' will *NOT* prevent chain fires. Grease and wads are used for Fouling Management.
I just had a quick look at the first page and its wrong I know from personal expierienceREAD the link I posted, 3 pages worth. You will see what I am talking about.

grease in blackpowder shuts it up/stops the fire train real quick.
If I have to explain how i know that im going to look all kinds of stupid take my word
or test it for yourself
by grease I mean lard,beeswax,tallow probably also crisco although I wont use the stuffyes explain what you are calling 'grease' also explain how crisco/bees wax/etc will stop the fire train.
it will help with loose fitting balls or otherwise poorly sealing chambersBottom line is chain fires are caused from:
1. Loose fiting balls.
2. Improperly sealed chambers.
3. Loose caps.
lubes, wads, patches, etc does *NOT* stop chain fires, they just work on fouling.

got nothing to do with pressure im putting on the load Im not telling my newbie mistakelubes etc can and will get burned, they offer *NO* heat, fire retardation or even reduction.
If the lube/grease/what not is mixing with the powder then well obviously and clearly you are puting to much pressure on the load
got nothing to do with pressure im putting on the load Im not telling my newbie mistake
Im not going to go into the chemistry (even if i knew it) of why it works but the grease
will shut down the fire.
so try it and let me know.
