My first experience was chain firing, 3 chambers letting go at once. Smeared Crisco over the loaded ball next with same results. Bought ball grease, same exhilarating chain fire. A bud in the know suggested I drop 5-10 grains off my 3F load. That helped.
Oxyoke wonder wads made it all better.
A lot of fun to shoot, & the sheriff model is my fave. Good find. When the loaded chamber is covered with grease 100% and it still chain fires, there is only one other place for fire to get to the powder inside the chamber.

Just needs a new set of nipples and a new hammer. Easy peasy. I've got the nipples, and I can dress the battered hammer back into shape with a Foredom tool. Right now, it's about #15 on the project list behind an 80% AR-10 receiver, a couple of Mausers, and three racing engines. 3 months on an oxygen concentrator after a case of covid has put a big dent in my avaialble shop time!
