For the record, I rammed .375" balls in the chambers of my .36 revolver, .451" balls in the chambers of my .44 revolver, over the lubed felt wad over the powder.
Lubed felt wad over powder was advertised as less messy than filling the end of the cylinder with crisco+beeswax. For load and shoot same day it worked. My son standing beside me during the matches noticed he did not get sprayed with hot lube. However, left loaded over time, the lubed wad contaminated the powder. I went back to ball rammed over powder, chamber end filled with lube, after the flaming wad fiasco.
