Bill, Even if you made your invention out of brass or steel, eventually it would wear (gas cut), to the point of worthlessness and allow gasses to escape and possilbly ignite the adjoining chambers if the balls were't seated well. Unfortunately, being a bit of an inventor, I've found some things have been worked to death, I've spent time reinventing the wheel myself if you know what I mean. Lubed wads are a "new' invention in BP and as far as I can see, state of the art. They don't melt in the heat (or when firing), they don't make your hands and holster a gooey mess and you can make a couple of hundred in a hour...without a mill or lathe. If it ain't broke don't fix it....unless you're of the career military persuasion in which case the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, fix it till it is " LOL!
