How much tear-down/cleaning is involved after a BPcartridge revolver session?
You clean the frame, cylinder and barrel. Not a big deal.

And how badly/quickly does fouling build up in the cylinder gap to prevent turning?
Depends on the gun. Colt style revolvers last the longest. I have put 2-3 boxes of BP ammo through them at one time and I haven't bound one up yet. Remington style revolvers will go through a box or so before you need to wipe them down. The replica S&W top break revolvers don't do well with BP. You might get 20-30 shots before they get sticky. All this from my personal experience. Others have no doubt had their own.
