Regarding ball - cast are cheaper than swaged - but I can't bring myself to pay shop prices even then - think Andy charges £7 or £7.50/100 for his cast ball & the last Hornady swaged I saw were about £11 Edit: - just seen the Hornady ball on MidwayUK .....£14.47/100 [ eeeeeeeeeeek !]
I am casting my own soft lead ball in .457 & also making my own wads - my Dad is using filler - it's all down to preference
I use wads to bring the ball flush & put a tiny squirt of grease on two cylinders to keep any fouling soft when I am shooting BP
With Nitro - I Alox the ball/bullet whatever I am playing with & shoot on
