I've only been back with C&B for 'bout 3 er 4 yrs. (this century)
Never have used a wad..Just grease over the ball.
Never had a problem so far.
Other fellers is right tho, messsssy !
Can't speak to accuracy issues or anything else..
I always go with the idea in mind to do some serious testing and evaluating
but it/we quickly degenerate into a fun blasting session..
Even got some old felt hats for wad mat;'l and punches, but...well..mebbe
I'll get around to cutting some wads tomorrow..
