What is the largest black powder rifle I can find without spending a small fortune?

It also has to be a replica of one made before 1899. Non centerfire/rimfire. Thanks!What is the largest black powder rifle I can find without spending a small fortune?
This is hard to answer as you don't specify what you want to use it for and what you consider a small fortune. There are excellent repros of civil war muskets available in .58cal for $500-1000 depending on model and manufacter.What is the largest black powder rifle I can find without spending a small fortune?
Cabela's has a 72 cal double barrel. It does cost a small fortune though. Worth a note, you can shoot round balls out of a black powder shotgun. I believe a 12 gauge is around 69 caliber. Accuracy would suffer out of a smooth bore, but our ancestors were able to get game with them.
