which induced the Author, after much reflection to give a slight chamfer, or bevel to the orifice of each chamber, so as to deflect, or throw off at an outward angle, the fire which expanded laterally across their mouths.
Interesting. I don't think any of my reproduction revolvers have chamfered chambers.

Here's a related question: don't grease cookies contaminate the powder?
I once tried lubricated wads under the ball. But I was trying to use them to eliminate the need for filler, so I put in like 3-4 of them between the powder and ball. The force of driving the ball in squeezed the lube out of the wads and saturated the powder, so that they would either not fire at all or fired very weakly.

What did you use as lube?

I've only used Gatofeo's #1 lube and have always seated my projectiles with a fair amount of force and haven't had any issues.
