Not traditional but would a .22 Pellet work? With the hollow base I would think it would expand into the rifling easily, similar to a Mine Ball. Some have little groves in them that would hold a touch of lube.
 As for the touch hole, I would think a 1/4 X 1/4 X 28 stainless set screw inserted backwards would work fine.

OK Tim,
So far of three outings, this touch hole liner that you have suggested works great.  Thanks again!

FYI,  I upped the main charge (from 8grs) to 20grs of Goex FFFg.  This helped eliminate the unburned crud in the barrel on that .22 cal flinter.
