This may be a dumb question, Back in the olden days, you know when Dad was young. Did these folks not put grease in the revolver till it was going to be used ?, seems like it would fall out otherwise, and if so, I bet they missed alot of good shots, cuz they had to dig out the grease and put in the chambers. Can you fire the guns with no problems in the long run without grease ?
 
From everything I've read, they didn't grease the Cap and Ball chambers after loading or before firing.
They also didn't use wads under the balls or bullets. Just powder. ::
