Why the wads?

Goes to show how dangerous it is to get "comfortable", such as reloading with smokeless powder and then thinking about using black :eek:, never assume anything. Thanks.
 
Update

Well I loaded some of my .45 Colt rounds with felt wads and some without. I noticed no real difference in performance.

I enjoy cleaning the pistols and did not notice a lot of gunk or lead build up.

The biggest concern I really had was about leaving too much space between the black powder and the bullet. I understand that this is a no-no! I will use the felt wads to take up space on the rounds I make in which the bullet does not reach and compress the powder when I seat it.

Thank you to everyone who helped me with this.
