That really is a shame that your having the elevation issue with a revolver that has adjustable sights. My stainless Uberti just has the standard sight channel in the rear, and it shoots to point of aim.

This thread makes that Elephant stuff sound worse than what many think of Pyrodex.

It even happens indoors with fiberglass arrows with my bow. I think the repeated flexion of the bow and string create micro changes in the thermal properties that make the bow wobble more when I draw after a few hours.

There's actually little record of anyone greasing over their bullets in historical literature. The practice came about in modern times. Of course, people didn't rack up the round counts at a range session the way we do, so that would be understandable. With that being said, if a method that...

You must disavow that 5% caveat until you find evidence to support it.😜

Well, chain fire origins have been accurately determined through experimentation, and the experimentation points to the front of the cylinder. Anyone who has had a chain fire and can't tell what caused can be foregiven for not being able to determine its origin if they didn't intentionally...

If a mishap can't be reproduced, then either it was of a supernatural origin, or the actual origin wasn't properly determined. Things happen for a reason.

Those are the chain fires that people have been able to deliberately reproduce. I've never had one, myself, because I pour cleanly, and I use appropriate projectiles. Read my earlier post about someone who deliberately left caps off of loaded chambers as well as a post from someone else here...

They come from the front as a result of poor powder management and/or undersized balls.

Read the previous posts. It's already been discussed at great length.

Preventing them requires accurately determining their origin. That means looking at causes that have been effectively duplicated. From there, shooters know what to avoid. Anything else is just a distraction from that objective. That's why there's a debate about it.

Well, I've never used cornmeal because I use 30gr charges, but putting the lube on top of my cork disks would probably do about the same. The problem is that I would still have to touch the stuff at the range and create a smeary mess to clean off of my fingers like I already have to do. That's...

I've only put lube behind the ball, and 48 is the most rounds I've fired in one session, but I didn't lose a lot of accuracy over the course of those sessions. Of course, I put the lube directly around the chamber mouths before seating the bullets.

Yeah, I've never put lube in front of the ball. From what I've read, it just gets blown out before it ever mixes with the fouling.

I forgot to ask in my previous post if Matthews Lube has a recipe posted somewhere here.
