After shooting my Navy for the first time (first BP ever) I will acknowledge that at least putting a wad over the powder makes reloading more efficient (you can put it down if you have to). I would still contend that a wad over the ball would serve the purpose of lube and flash protection........it just makes more sense overall to powder, wad, ball.....
