Is this not the proper way to shoot these things?

There is no 'proper' way, only options, which is really the part about bp revolvers that's endearing. Kind of like the 'best' way to clean them.
I started out using Bore Butter back in the 70's (that's 1970's), switched to dry lubed wads in the 80's to get away from the mess factor on hot days (had some of those back then in Kansas).
Then I decided to prove that wads improved my accuracy so that I could justify them without whining about runny messes - we had a group of 'seasoned veterans' at the Four Seasons Trading Post in Wichita that opined you weren't a real bp shooter unless you had Bore Butter running down both arms and dripping off the elbows. I managed to absolutely show without any doubt that I wasn't a good enough shooter that they made any difference in my ability to hit POA reliably.
I got over the shame of being greaseless and have used them ever since.
