How many of you have experienced a chain fire? Is this more or less of a problem than it was in the 19th Century? Does the revolver design make a difference? How about loading technique? Does it usually jump from nipple to nipple or chamber mouth to chamber mouth?
Whats the overall consensus?
Years ago I had a chain fire with a buddys replica something or other, loaded with grease over the balls.
In more recent times I have acquired a Ruger Old Army and have been loading a pre-lubricated felt wad over the powder followed by the ball with no grease. So far I have had no problems with this combination.
