Went out to shoot some FPBs this last weekend. I have always just placed them on top of the muzzle (no QLA) and balanced a short starter on top and given them a "whap" with my other palm. Never worked out perfect and seemed like many times I would get them started crooked.

But this time, I simply positioned them on the end of the muzzle and with only finger pressure and a very slight amount of side to side wiggling, was able to start the rear flared end into the barrel. With the bullet thus started, I was able to put the short started on top and they loaded straight every time and it only took an extra 5 seconds to do it.

This was for a knight LRH and a T/C renegade barrel. Both barrels worked with this method. Give it a try and see if it works for you!
