Although still a bit of a novice with my Ruger Old Army I am slowly improving. I use 777 FFFG with a wad and am now back on round balls (Lee bullets were hopeless) coated in Liquid Alox.

My club has now introduced some new safety regs which state that all BP revolvers MUST now have the cylinders greased over after loading to prevent chain-fires. I haven't done this in the past because I seem to remember reading on here it's a waste of time and pretty messy to boot.

Have I got this wrong; is greasing a must to prevent this chain fire business? Has anyone actually seen a chain fire casued by not using grease?
