Bob,

I am curious to the source on the rolling ball idea.   To lubricate with olive oil, the barrels could be swabbed then tampioned.  The olive oil will last a long time without having to have a ball rolling back and forth which carries it own problems such as knocking out the tampion as stated above and an extra step having to extract it before loading powder when going into action.  May very well be what was done, but definitely a new one for me.
