New or Used? New .50 caliber rifles with octagonal barrels and walnut stock is about $280. The prices go up as high as $400 for rifles with synthetic stock and stainless steel barrels. I did not see very many in .45 caliber. Search for websites for dealers who sale Thompson Center muzzle loaders. Here is the website for Thompson Center Arms: http://www.tcarms.com/ My guess is that you could buy a used Thompson Center rifle for $100 to $150. The .50 caliber would be worth more, in my opinion. The best way to determine actual value is to search the on-line auctions, such aswww.gunbroker.com and www.auctionarms.com or even www.proxibid.com enter your details in the search and see what has SOLD and for how much. if there is nothing current try the archives of past sales or items sold. Another place to look is The blue book of modern black powder values available from www.midwayusa.com Don't forget condition has allot to do with value, so compare apples to apples.
120 grains max. Any more than that wouldn't be good.

Depends on the size of the barrel.
How would load your powder and ball down the barrel ram it down to make sure it's tight in the barrel then you would put powder in the pan when the flint hits the metal it creates a spark lighting the powder in the pan then lighting the powder in the barrel making it fire.

How much is a old black powder only 45 cal long barrel pistol worth?
You dont hold it, besides, you can't
It just looks like a barrel with black flakes coming out of the top off the barrel.
When the primer is struck, it ignites. When it does, it ingites the powder charge. The powder charge explosion pushes the bullet down and then out of the barrel.
