Iron Out also works well, but no protection.

I don't know, and I doubt if anyone else does either.
To be on the safe side, use the services of an FFL.
As the saying goes, "Nuke'em from orbit, it's the only way to know for sure."

You evidently haven't been following too closely, some of us have mentioned insulation.
Hey, we all do it, but not "everyone" has missed his second post, I didn't.

I loaded up six of the pellet cartridges with grits and egg carton wads.
One wad at the base and two at the mouth as the wads fit looser there.

I have this problem with my .45-70s.

If it works fine, leave it alone, if not make a new one from whatever you want.
I never said they were bad, just never been a fan of.

I live in town and even a pellet gun is pushing it.
I have a single action BB/pellet revolver, cowboy gun that has cartridges that load ether a BB or pellet.
