Having experimented with various fillers, wads and different lubricants over the years, I eventually settled on just a lubricated wad without filler or attempting to seat the ball close to the top of the chamber. Although this is goes against traditional wisdom, it works for me and avoids a lot of time during the loading process.

My load for my Colt Walker .44 is 55 or 60 grains of black powder a lubricated wad and .457 ball, I am not into cookery and couldn't stand semolina with or without jam in school dinners.

20 grns of b/p topped up with a scoop of semolina and a .457 ball. Plug the end of each chamber with wonder lube. Cap on and
away you go. Cleaning is easy with my ROA's using wonder lube. Always brings a smile to your face.
