I will, just to keep fouling soft. If fouling allowed to get hard during protracted shooting ie duck hunting, it requires a river water soaked patch to clean followed by a couple dry off patches. That's a lot of time wasted when birds are coming in.I don't lube the plastic wads in my guns.
Except the glue stick! Use silk thread, twist the end shut and tie it, then shove it back up inside the tube and pour your powder charge! At the top, just twist it shut and tie it off, should work fine!Has anybody explored rolling nitrated paper shotshell cartridges? I was thinking rolling nitrated coffee filter paper around a tapered .690 dowel mandrel, gluesticking the base, powder, two lubed felts for overpowder, shot, one felt overshot then twisting the top for shot retention. The nitrated paper should fully combust, not leaving burning material in the grass. A good tamp down should keep everything tight considering it has to squeeze past chokes.
