I use tinfoil for my parade loads. You can role them up ahead of time. I
make mine elongated so that they drop clear down the barrel. Jim #1798.

Another reason not to use any wadding is that you don't need a ramrod to
poke the wadding down. In fact, don't even have a ramrod or wiping
stick around when you are firing. This eliminates one step, but more
importantly, there is no way the ramrod can inadvertently turn into a
projectile. And don't say it can never happen. From personal
experience I can say you never forget the sound when you are on the
receiving end of a ramrod whizzing overhead.
While we are being super-cautious, If they want you to shoot off a rifle
as much as possible, is there a danger of pouring powder on a remaining
ember in the barrel? I have never seen it happen, but some say they
have. Of course pour powder only from premeasured papers or from a
measure, not from a horn.

John Dearing said
You don't need anything over the powder if you are firing immediately
after
loading.

For our battle reenactments at the Battle of Culloden, we use only paper
cartridges with about a 70 Gr 3F load, and use some of that to prime with.
We toss the paper and police it up afterwards... Nothing ever goes down the
barrel.
Regards,
Ad Miller
