The use of the wad in cap and ball revolvers between powder and shot is supposed to eliminate chain firing between cylinders (witch is not a good thing). I have fired revolvers for thirty years or so with and without them without a problem. If you don't use the wad use a good coating of grease over the ball. Back one hundred and fifty years ago they didn't have wonder wads.
