Dustin Winder of Guns of the West explains the purpose of wads in cap-and-ball revolvers. Wads, soaked in lubricant, are used to keep black powder fouling soft and prevent accuracy degradation. Alternatively, lubricant can be applied directly over the ball in the chamber. Both methods aim to deposit lubricant in the bore, with visual confirmation at the muzzle indicating success. The video also touches on preventing chain fires through proper ball fit and cap selection.
