I recently purchased a Pietta 1858 Remington New Model Army Target. I have experience shooting and hunting with in-line muzzleloaders but this is my first venture into black powder handguns. I ordered a package of Ox-Yoke Wonder Wads that are supposed to be pre-lubed to go between the powder and ball. When they arrived, I noticed that while they are yellowish in appearance and smell like they're lubed, they feel pretty dry. There doesn't seem to be any residue on them. It makes sense that I wouldn't want excess lube contaminating my powder charge, but is this how the Wonder Wads typically appear, or did I get a bag that is dried out? Maybe it is some type of "dry" lube? Thanks for any input.
