My Dad has a model 1861 Navy Colt in .36 he's been stocking up for, as well as a T/C Hawken in .50  ;D

Sounds like a very cool toy. I'd own one except for the PITA cleaning factor, but still woth it. My friends who do BP seem addicted. Does it get you out of Aussie gun laws? Here in the states they aren't classified the same way as modern firearms. Is that the case down there?

PS as far as lead, look to fishing catalogs. There are a quite a few that sell lead for folks that want to make their own jig heads and sinkers. Likewise, hit your local scrap yard. Just wear a respirator if you start hack sawing pieces down to size.

Nice, Phil! I found sheet lead for my pistol from a local plummer.  Seems they still use it for drain pans. He just gave me scraps for free.

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

The Rodgers and Spencer revolver is an excellent gun.  It was one of the best revolvers never used in the Civil War.  I own two and was going to use them for Cowboy Action Shooting in the Plainsmen Category.  They are quick to take apart for cleaning and don't foul out as fast as a Remington.  They can also be accuarized very easily.  The late Tom Ball made excellent Rodgers and Spencers.  Their used to also be .45 Colt conversion cylinders avaliable for them as well.  Enjoy it and good shooting.

The Starr unless they have improved recently aren't very reliable.  I would also stay away from the brass framed '51 Navy and '60 Army.
