I was wondering, being lazy, if anyone has tried to tumble lube conicals for a cap and ball. It works GREAT on modern cartridge guns, wondering why it wouldn't work on cap and ball? I've always just not questioned the wisdom of various beezwax concoctions, but liquid alox is REAL easy to use. Heck, to think of it, I've never tried an UNlubed conical, either. I can always scrub out the lead if it don't work, but I reckon they do need to be lubed with SOMEthing.
