Hey guys, I've been shooting all my life but I've never had a black powder revolver before. I just had my special order delivered from Taylors and MAN, what a beauty!! Its the Uberti 1858 Remmy with case hardened frame and blued 5.5" barrel. I already cast my own bullets for my 45 Colt, 10mm, 38/357 and 45acp, so I went ahead and bought a 2 bullet mold from lee thats .454 ball. I work part time at a gun shop because my plumbing business is on life-support, so I'll pick up some FFF powder today and whatever size caps it requires. I'm still confused on the wads/grease. I definately wont be packing grease in my chambers, so then I presume wads are a necessity at this point. People keep talking about lubed wads to help with the fouling. Are the wads used for chain-fire prevention or for the fouling. Can I just lube my cast balls like I do my cast bullets with Lee Alox lube? Would this help with the fouling? Anyway, thank you for reading this. Pictures will follow. Kevin.
