Tinker: Agree with Daryl about the wad setup. Make a lot of sense. As to lubes, I have had good luck with another of Paul M.'s formulas: 2 parts beeswax to 1 part neetsfoot oil and 1 part Murphy's Oil Soap.

Daryl: Have you considered building a round ball gun larger than .72-.75? I think it is the Colorado gunmaker Jim Gefroh who has dome some serious hunting in Africa with 8-bore flinters. I don't think I would want to go any larger than that, but in my dreams, I would love to hunt Cape buff with a round ball gun someday, and I think a 12- or 10-bore, well built, would do the work. Obviously a 14-bore like yours is more than up to folding elk, moose, caribou and probably most of the African plains game.
