Keeping the powder in you would use a wad, perhaps tissue pressed on top the powder maybe with a light brushing of grease to make it stick better.
Well you say that but chain fire is not great when you are sat on a horse, and you are not allowed to discard your weapon (we have strict safety drills). So you just have to hold the gun up until its finished.

Would a wad be man enough for the job, and do the caps ever work loose if in a holster and bouncing around?
