He asked about "lubricated wads or non-lubricated wads that is the question and what is best for storing cap and ball Revolvers for long periods of time". I answered that question. Now get lost.
I was just trying to help the OP based on his follow up response. My mistake reading all his posts on this thread….. Though it is odd you brought up your distain for using cap and ball revolvers for self defense if you were only answering his original question about lubricate wads??? Wonder where that came from? Clairvoyant maybe? Ok, per your request, I am now lost. No need to respond, we have all we need to know.

The op probably wouldn't consider it either, under better circumstances.
My mistake also for not reading OP's post very good. I usually read every post well before posting, somehow this one slipped by me. I was wondering if this could be the reasoning.

There are people in this world who for various reasons are not allowed the use of cartridge firearms. Good on the OP for looking into a viable means of self and home defense. “No free man should be debarred the use of arms for self defense.” I read that somewhere and agree with it.
The cap and ball revolver is as viable a defensive tool today as it was in 1850 and beyond. @Smarksm I hope your question has been answered, take good care.

If my capper was all that was available in the moment, then fine, me and my Remington will get to work, but again, only if was the only tool available or used as a backstop.
Remington or ruger old army....I really want one of the Remington double action revolvers. You hardly see them and I have
Never seen one in action....usually just the presence of a firearm is enough or one or two well Placed shots
