The needle rifle is a 1840's invention that uses paper cartridges, but even brass cases were loaded with black powder up until the lebel was adopted by the french.

What's a cheap 1840-60 rifle that you can hunt with as in pic related
Kevin Roberts
Flintlock or percussion? Track of the wolf stocks several but most of them are going to be handmade so prices vary. Traditions also makes both flint and percussion for more reasonable prices.

you can buy a BP revolver without "gun" paperworks, then buy a cyl that allows common 38spl ammo. Ends up costing about same as SA cheap revolver, and doubt any store would sell BP revolver without at least checking/recording ID but who knows.

Whatever is faster to reload

stupid question:
can I reload 38/357 with Black Powder (for shits and giggles)? This would be for recent production Ruger Blackhawk and/or Puma Lever Action rifle.
Will it make a huge mess to clean?
Does anyone use BP for Cowboy Action Shooting?

I don't want to be a dick, but a Sharp's Rifle in .45-70 Government is what the Mountain Man in your picture is using. You can get them in Black Powder, but understand that they are more expensive than some of the lever action raifus in a "big game" caliber like 45-70 which can be as little as $500-675 as opposed to $1300+ for the same look in BP. Other BP rifles are far cheaper, but they don't have that "post miquelet musket" look.

You definitely can with 357, i assume with 38 as well. Interestingly, you can even do that with .45ACP. There's plenty of info on that, even yt videos.
Well, have you ever shot bp guns?

Is that only pellet and black powder gun or does it need a cartridge
Give me names of these 4 guns
