After making black smoke for so long I found a combination that seem's to work best to keep the fouling down in the barrel of a revolver when useing the REAL BLACK like Goex. I load powder, dry wad made of wool, a little grease over the wad and then the ball/bullet and like to also use just a little grease over the ball/bullet. My lube mix is not the runny stuff but it's soft enough to do what it's intended to do, keep the fouling soft and still not run out in hot weather and help keep down the chance of a chain fire.
A friend has sent me the best Conicals I have ever seen or tried in my Remington .44. The bullet has a taper to it so that the bottom fits in the chamber and keeps the bullet straight as you ram it on down over the powder. Perfect design! This bullet has two grease or lube rings so I load them with my lube before loading and I also have left out the wad so that I can shoot my favorite 40g of fffg Goex with this large 200g. conical. I still place a little lube over the conical too but I have a lot of fouling with this method compaired to when I use my dry wool wad and grease over it.
Anyone else have more or less fouling when useing a wad or not useing one?
I know some folks like no wads at all, just grease and others swear by a wad and others like a pill. What works best for you? What is your loading method?
