Folks can be in dismay at my statement ... but here goes,
Been shooting Cap n Ball revolvers since the 70's [1970's] and even tho I love my paper cartridges, I can say with certainty that by a large margin ... my round ball loads over 22 grains 2Fg OE powder and sparked with CCI cap's ... then a lube filling the cylinder mouth ... has hands down ... been the absolute best and most accurate loads I have ever shot in any 36 cal revolver. I use SPG lube and my 60/40 bee wax/Vasoline mix. Both do great but gotta say ... ( better brace yourselves) ... plain ol crisco as an over ball lube. This do require a towel or two tho so as to wipe down hands and revolver time to time.

Yup, Crisco will do it. With Georgia heat, you wouldn't want to carry it like that, or leave it in a hot car, but for plain old shootin', Crisco'll do it.
