I acquired an original model 5 Burnside. I bought the brass and bullet mould. Using 3FFF black powder only and musket nipples
This carbine is a real hoot to shoot.

Cool
hoot to shoot. I like that. enjoy it.
I acquired one a few years ago. But black powder here is scarce.
Can't justify using 777.
Glad you got yours going!
That is what we do.... 3F Goex as long as we have it.....

I have used 3F and 2F, mostly Goex but some Olde Eynsford. A nice accurate load uses a 56 caliber round ball.

Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.
I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.
Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
I have a model 1960 that I re-barreled to 56-50. I've only shot round ball so far. It is fun to shoot. I need to make or buy a conical mould as I would like a heavier bullet to hunt with.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
