George,
Yeah, your probably right about that. I hadn't thought about there being enough recoil with the 36 to back the ball out of the cylinder with just a wad over the top. Better safe than sorry. I wonder if you could use a patched ball kind of loading like with a rifle? Would the patch hold the ball tight enough in the cylinder to keep it from backing out under recoil?
Another option is to just keep the lead and re-cast it if you can find a mold that will cast in the correct size.
