Interesting thread. 'Specially as I routinely load my Remmie with 40 gr of Pyrodrek "P" with no ill effect. Even with that load it's accurate enough for my purposes and anyway I truly enjoy the flames and so forth, makes it interestin'. Don't want to fool around with packin' meal or double-wadding, which I would have to do if my loads were less robust; it makes me nervous to have the ball suspended over the wad, just hangin' in the air so to speak.
Don't use lube, just wads under a .457 ball and my caps are #10. And most of the time I use keepers on the caps, aquarium tubing cut into bands, because I am convinced that most chain fires occur from the back of the cylinder . At least it makes sense to me, especially since caps tend to go to hell pretty regular and besides having one one or more of 'em fall into the works can make cylinder rotation a pretty iffy proposition.
