I never really believed the idea of a chain fire being caused from the front. I could see it if a cap fell off a nipple during recoil. The flash from a cap hits the exposed nipple and then bad things are happening.
Never seen it happen, Never knew anyone who saw it happen.
I just load powder, oversized lead ball, and grease over the chamber. Just a bit. More to keep humidity out and act as a lube for the forcing cone. May not do any realy good, but never saw any reason to shoot dry.
I consider this a "what works for you" kind of thing,
