I've been re-reading my reloading books on black powder cartridges. It seems there is a consensus that a grease cookie is necessary for paper patched bullets if one doesn't want to clean after every shot but there is no consensus of grease cookies for the lubed bullet.
Is a grease cookie necessary for lubed bullets for multiple shots?
Now onto the wad. It seems that a wad would not be necessary for gas-checked bullets unless one is also using a grease cookie. It seems to me that the gas-check acts as the wad to protect the bullet from gas and seal the bullet so that gas cannot get around the bullet.
I understand how the gas-check works, right? Is a wad still needed if one doesn't use a grease cookie with a gas check?
I was going to PM this to some of the BPCR gurus but I thought maybe others would be interested as well.

Shooting dirty is regulated more by the bullet design then fouling control.
You can shoot with or with out a wad if you want to using a GG bullet or patched but dont expect the accuracy with repeated shots that you get with using some sort of fouling control.

If you're using a good bpcr type bullet and blackpowder lube, grease cookies aren't necessary.
Grease cookies are most handy in paper patched loads used for hunting.
Wads either fiber or ldpe or cork or felt are generally left to the preference of the rifle and the one that yanks on said rifles trigger.

Hubert for a knowitall sumbich, you're certainly and ignorant bastid. Just out of curosity why do you feel it was nessary to call me a know it all , sumbitch and an igorant bastard, all I did was ask a simple question and I get treated like that. That might make some new people wonder if they want to post on the campfire.

Just out of curosity why do you feel it was nessary to call me a know it all , sumbitch and an igorant bastard, Just call em as I see them, besides you happen to be the ingorant bastard that announced that after 40 years of bpcr experience you had never heard of something that has mention all the way back to the 1800's. all I did was ask a simple question and I get treated like that. No your "simple question" was an attack , and you really didn't like the response. Do you suppose if you talked to people in person the way you do here anybody would want anything to do with you? I think not. Look at the embasyl you made of yourself on the 30-30 etc with bp thread. That might make some new people wonder if they want to post on the campfire. So may we take that as your statement that you are leaving and never to stink the place up again?

"The term labrick was in constant use by all grown men except certain of the clergy in the state of Missouri when I was a boy. It had a very definite meaning & occupied in the matter of strength the middle ground between scoundrel & son of a bitch...But...let me brush aside the ornamental & give you the plain & authentic definition of the word. Labrick is substantially ass, a little enlarged & emphasized; let us say, labrick is a little stronger than ass, & not quite as strong as idiot."

I never got my education drinking and parting in collage so I am lacking in a formal education. But I received my education by doing things, like spending 3 years in Alaske in the military. where I hunted , fished and spent some of my leave time working on a Dairy farm in Palmer. I got my first rifle on my 6th birthday and was taught to shoot by my uncles that were real mountain Men. My experiances are too numerus to write about here. and I releize many of the people on here are envious of my vast knowledge and experiences, while theirs are from reading gun magazines and their fantasies and day dreams.

OK.
"Don't be so humble - you are not that great."
- Golda Meir (1898-1978)
They gave me my first mini-gun at age 20. Matriculated at the infamous A Shau University w/graduate work at Hamburger Hill College of Fine Art and Explosives. Later on I switched majors and attended the Ben Het Monastery to enhance my vocabulary. Few give a chitt and fewer are envious. Residents of 49 other states and the rest of planet earth don't care much about how it was done in Alaska back in the day. The future is in front of you, not in your hip pocket.
The "Labrick" state of being is voluntary.
