As long as the revolver is in good working order, and isn't all rusted up, it should be safe to shoot using black powder.

If in doubt about the condition of the revolver, take it to a gunsmith and have him look it over for you.

For the load, look up BP loads in a good book, or look online. Check several sources to verify the information, since many folks don't load such things all that safely. Be sure to look up the load for the bullet you intend to load, since different weight/type of bullets will use different amounts of powder.

As far as loading the revolver using the attached rod, it's going to depend on the condition of the revolver. If it's in good shape, it should work fine. Check with your gunsmith if in doubt.
