What load do you guy's find the best for accuracy?

My findings are 24g 777, .454 ball, balls capped with Trex (I'm told by Cuts this is better known as Crisco in the Great US) works for me. 

Tried Wonderwads, made my own wads, varied the charge, used various fillers, but the above gives the best results.

Firearm: Euroarms Remington 58.

Mine with 777 FFG is 30 grains volume (22,0 by weight) under 0,457 Speer pure Pb ball with absolutely no lube. Chambers are bored to 0,454 and nipples are machined to fit caps snuggly. Caps are Dynamite-Nobel 1075. Gun is Pietta Remington New Army. Get no leading at all and the powder fouling does not build up from shot-to-shot, at least not for 30+ shots. Do need to keep cylinder pin either clean or heavily lubed.
