Only two others! 

You've got the in-lines covered, so now you need a more traditional rifle.  A roundball gun would be your next logical step and can be a lot of fun since it's pretty easy to get into casting your own balls, cutting your own patches from fabric, and it can be much cheaper to shoot since you aren't limited to buying pretty expensive factory bullets.  You have to be careful though, because pretty soon you'll end up with smoothbores for bird hunting and flintlocks for big game!  They are definitely addictive.  I say, go for it!

do you need to wrap the ball after every shot

When you load the ball you wrap it not after you've shot it.

I just give em a scratch and then reload the rifle. as you load the gun, lay a lubed patch on the muzzle centered, place the round ball in the middle, use a ball starter to get it going down the bore, finish with the ram rod and dont forget to pour your powder first.
