Hi guys,
I came across an older YouTube video a few months back made by Mark Hubbs, that sells the Johnston & Dow and Kerr bullet molds, of how historic revolver paper cartridges were lubed and how to duplicate the method for making your own historic lubed paper cartridges. The link is below and is about 15 minutes long. I have experimented making paper cartridges using paraffin only as the lube from his two methods. I was surprised that barrel fouling for my revolvers was about the same effect as adding a lubed wad inside a paper cartridge.
