I'm brand new to black powder arms and my first pick up was a pietta 1858 Remington new model. Super happy with it, looks great and sounds great I love it, I'm just itching to take it out to the range but I'm unsure of what the most effective way of having fun would be as far as loading is concerned. Part of me wants to just rawdog it and hand load everything on the range but I suspect the novelty would wear off quickly. I have 1 cylinder as it stands and don't plan on buying more in the near future, would I be better off pre packing a bunch of paper cartridges should I buy a stand loader? Also any general tips for gun care or anything you think I should know is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Sorry in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong place but I thought who better to ask than the reenactors themselves. Me and some family are going out to gettysburg over the 4th of July week and are centering our trip on the Daniel lady farm event as well as various other battlefield sightseeing trips. Any thoughts on the event would be great as I have never been to a reenactment and have heard this specific one lacks numbers as the days go on as well as historical authenticity, As someone who has pretty good general knowledge of the civil war I'm worried this will take a lot of the magic of such a show away.
