No matter how bad it is....

...A day upon which one fires a revolver is a good day.

Went to my shootin spot this morning in the middle of a drizzle which I was absoultely certain would clear by the time I got there.

NOT!

Drizzle continued for pretty much the entire session. I only shot one revolver, the ASP Remington .44. I got through four cylinders before I realized it just wasn't going to stop raining.

I did have the opportunity to try out the wads I had made. First twelve shots were wads under and no lube over the ball. Shots were all over the place. I shot the target stand...shot the target next to the one I was aiming for...

Next twelve were wads under the ball and then lube over the ball. Grouping was FAR better.

I did not shoot enough to form any solid opinions about this topic. But I am just about ready to declare that lube over the ball is more important than a wad under the ball. At least that seemed to be true this morning in this pistol.

Yeah Doc that's about how it works for me as well. I went one step further and left out the wads all together and watched it drive tacks. For some, wads work, for me not. I do put wads in BP cartridges (45LC) though, and they seem to work fairly well. Go figure.

I hope that I am eventually able to come to a decision that works more or less for all of my revolvers. Maybe that is too niave.
