Hi Tim,
Don't discount a BP rifled musket. Right now, I'm thinking of the 2 band Enfield rifle (same as the 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps carried) or (sorry Bellicose Bill) a .58 cal. Colt. If you ever want to, you can also get into those (un)Civil War reenactors groups since you've already got the right revolvers. I'm a bit reluctant to go BP cartridge (though I have an original 45-70 Trapdoor) because of the cleaning required. No reloading equipment required except for the ramrod. Being lazy, I find the simpler the mechanism, the easier it is to clean (then why do I spend 1 hour on a AR instead of a quick run through with a bolt gun?).
