Mykeal, thanks for pointing that out. But that's where I deduced, and I know I shouldn't use simple logic but I do, that if it's too dangerous to place filler or wads in a cartridge gun...well why would you do it in a Cap & Ball Revolver?

Smokeless of much higher pressures are used in cartridge guns and these objects are dangerous in them ... then why would it be safe in in BP Revs.

Anyway that's how I look at it, and besides I tried a .36 Navy with 777 and my lube pills and it shot like crap. Holes all over the place...did shoot better w/o the pills. But read that you aren't to use 777below .44 or .45 cal...then the other dangous measures.

I just shot it naked after reading all that and really jus' to shoot up the 1/2lb I have left.
