I wouldn't think you'd pick up that much velocity. In my first edition Layman BP book they have to go all the way up to 3 3/4 dram load before the velocity gets over 1200fps. That's in a 27" barrel, but I'm sure another 3" of barrel isn't going to make all that much difference. Eric, we shoot 150 rounds in a day on a couple of different events and don't wipe between shots. I'm not saying clean up wouldn't be a bit easier if I did something different, but people get set in their ways, so it is what it is. And Kingston, I've never read or seen anyone use a lube wafer. I know some use a lubed cushion wad, but I'd think it would be handy more for hunting than target shooting. Soap and water usually isn't too far off. I do use a lube wafer in my NMA pistol, but that's to keep the fouling in the barrel soft enough so the RB will still engage the rifling.
