Very nice, how's acquiring ammo for these? And whats the average price per round?

Like Vintage Pieces mentioned, I posted a 2 minute reloading tutorial on here.

Long story short I cut a 7.62x54R down for casings and I use .445 roundball or I resize 45 soft lead bullets down to .445. I load only black powder since this gun is 150 years old. I usually load them to around 850fps with a 270gr flat nose.
