I have been shooting single shot percussion guns for about 45 years and just got a new Navy revolver in .44 cal. My question is regarding cross-fire. Is a patch/grease necesary when using a pellet charge versus a loose powder charge in a revolver? Thanks, BigDog

To answer your question, not necessarily. It's generally accepted here that it's cap fit on the nipples that are more important. If the ball is properly sized so that it shaves a ring when pressed in to the cylinder it shouldn't be a crossfire hazard since the chamber is effectively sealed from the front. Some kind of lube is nice to keep fouling manageable.
