Take a look at Lyman for a good starter M/L rifle. I shoot a 50 cal. caplock "Trade Rifle' with my local club and it can hold it's own with most of the fancier rifles. Club rules dictate patched ball and real black powder. Lyman makes the Trade Rifle and the longer Great Planes Rifle in both .50 and .54 and either with cap or flint. All have a hooked breach for easy cleaning.
