I just picked up a used euroarms new model army .44 cap and ball revolver.(got it at a flee market for $75)

What are some good accessories for this gun?

What kind of powder measure/dispenser is good so i dont have to measure out every load with a spoon and small powder measure?

Good caper that will work on revolvers?

Good nipple wrench?

Any other goodies i need?

Also i bought some .445 balls(all i could find). they seem a touch small. what size should i look for?

Also(again) what is a good load for this gun(pyrodex/black powder)?
