I classify this as a personal technique as we all know what works or doesn't work for us. You know your equipement better than anyone else and for the most part, it's your measure or call based on your shooting routine.

Now, on C&B revolvers, I only use a pick. I do not always remove the nipples everytime I clean. I only use copper base antisiez paste on the nipple theads.
Your ignition is "In-Line" with your main charge and a bit more forgiving than a sidelock.

Should say that I never shoot any BP or Pyrodex. For any given C&B revolver, I only shoot it about four of five time a year. I rotate What I have but mostly shoot my ROA's

Be Safe !!!
