Thanks Patrick and Jerry. I concur with all you´ve written and it coincides with the experience I´ve gained. There´s just no alternative to as much grease as possible under the bullit, andit has to be seated as late as possible.
BTW, the standard Kaiser´s Army cartridge case should be suitable (I hope), as there doesn´t seem to be a Bavarian example to be found anywhere on the web. And the bandolier is another item that´s proving difficult. Bavarians don´t seem to as interested in their past as Prussians.
