Hi!

I have a couple of muzzle loaders (Both Pietta's, one in .36 and one in .44). The previous owner of the .36 gave me a big bag of felt wads with it and told me he never used bore butter on top of the loaded balls as he always used felt wads under the balls to prevent chain fires. Does anyone else do this~? Or is it better to use some sort of tallow or perhaps both??
