I have heard people make the "it started in the nipple" argument, I dunno, weirder things have happened. All I know is it only takes a dollap of grease to prevent it. . . .
Ah, yes....but do you grease the nipple?

but the dry lube impregnated fiber wads certainly are a lot less messy and, at least to me, quicker and easier to use.
I've used the wads as well, and they are convenient, but don't make the mistake I did and use them with conicals....with a 30 grain charge of FFFg, the wads will cause the conical to protrude from the chamber mouth and prevent the cylinder from rotating!

Let me tell you, the air was blue on the range that day, and not from black powder smoke!
