Hey guys I did a little cap and ball shooting and I noticed something today.
I was shooting in hot weather, mid 90s and it was very humid. The lubed wads for my revolver (.36 cal lubed wads sold by cabelas) were very soggy due to the heat.
My shots started sounding/feeling very weak, and I assumed it was because the wads were soaking the powder. I shot a cylinder without wads and what a difference that made.
So do you just not use lubed wads in hot weather? or find a more dry wad brand?
