Well, I'm sure this will start a poop-storm, but I can't seem to find any rules prohibiting the use of wadding (or wrapping the bullet) with anything for carbine.... The rules explicitly dis-allow the use of wrapping smoothbore rounds with paper or cloth (foil allowed), but there is no mention for Carbine or musket...
In 22.1 Ammunition, General it states:
c. Carbine I and II, revolver, and breechloading rifle ammunition may include non-explosive, non-metallic filler, such as cream of wheat or wads.
That's the only mention of 'wadding' in that section (other than the smoothbore).
So, if I'm reading this correctly (and who says I am....) it implies you can patch ANY bullet for any gun EXCEPT smoothbore.... Question becomes: Is this intentional? Is there any competitive advantage to patching a ball or bullet ??
What sayeth you??
