A wad under the ball is better. You need some lube to keep fouling soft.
Maybe that's been your experience Hawg, but it hasn't been mine.

It's been my experience that the cornmeal from my next shot scours and blows the fouling right out of the barrel and I have found no need for grease. It's also been my experience that fouling sticks to any grease it can and then makes an even more gummed mess than dry fouling does. That's why I usually lube my cylinder's arbor with dry teflon spray lube instead of using grease of any kind. I have found that I can shoot more cylinder fulls of shots using dry teflon to lube the arbor before the cylinder inevitably binds on the arbor due to fouling. That's been my shooting experience anyway.
