There are a couple of options that are worth looking at as alternatives. I've used Lithium grease in a syringe for a number of years. The trick is to find a syringe that uses a square edged flange rather than a bung across the face. In the latter type the rubber swells and it becomes unusable fairly quickly. The one I found has been in my box for more than four years now and still works.
The other option is to check out the products offered by Gunther Stifter (Google Stifter Gunflints). He offers specialist kit and his stuff is used by many of the top shooters in the world. Although the site is mostly on German, his English is excellent and emails are usually replied to promptly.
sounds like my wifes cooking........little beeswax - makes it thicker and add a drop of olive oil.
under bullet..just bung a wad over the bullet if you still unsure
as aside is not flashover just a urban myth.....

hi viv.
used to use lube over bullets and actually used a wad over a bullet too but now i just seat the bullet...in some reloading books it does say use a wad over a bullet to prevent chainfire if you in doubt just google wad under or over bullet and it does crop up right or wrong.
chainfires can occur either end so use good fitting caps and whatever protection be it lube over or wad under at the other end

One thing that is worth mentioning is that at International level, it's compulsory to seal the revolver's chambers with grease. I don't think it's something they'd do if there weren't real concerns that chain fires were a possibility.
Or is it slang for gun oil. thanks
