Shooters.
I have been using Crisco . .(no wait, even cheaper store brand shortening) . . in my Old Army for about seven years. No leading, no chain fires. However, I use a H&G conical bullet cast from range scrap. A round ball has a very thin area of contact with the cylinder wall, so maybe the flash would have a better chance of getting around that. I shoot 40 grains of Pyrodex and a wad would allow less room for powder. Need all the power I can get for those nasty, ferocious bowling pins!
