I think the possibility of chainfires are highly, HIGHLY over rated. Think back to the civil war. Do you think they took the time to grease each shot during battle? No, no they didn't. I shot my '58 replica many times without any grease at all. The seal between the ball and chamber will block any sparks unless you loaded it wrong or used the wrong size ball. The only real risk of chainfires comes from the nipple end.
