I recommended the caps that are readily available where I live - S&B caps are not. As I said, there are as many answers as fleas on a dog, and most are right. The price of lubed wads here in UK and the cost of ready-made ball makes shooting a 'cheap' BP revolver a lot like firing up five pound notes. If anybody here has any doubts about either home-casting or making your own wads, remember that a pound of good lead will produce around 50 .44cal balls. Wads are another subject altogether, and since I neither make them nor use them, I'll leave that subject to those who do.
