Assuming you are going to load this rifle with black powder the task isn't difficult. But first get a cerro cast of the chambers to determine exactly what the dimensions are so you can find brass for it. Buffalo Arms Co has a pretty good selection and lots of experience with such issues. Then you need to get an idea of the weight projectile this gun was regulated with. Again you may find Buffalo Arms has something useable. While you are talking to them get a copy of Steve Garbe's Reloading Primer which probably doesn't have your specific cartridge but will teach you how to prepare such cartridges. Not much in the way of tooling is needed. About any rifle reloading press and a set of dies will do it. Also look around your area for groups shooting Black Powder Cartridge Rifles (usually silouette shooters). They are a good source of a mentor or two as to win they have to have figured this out already. To make the process go easier you are going to want to find some FFg Swiss rifle powder. The more common GOEX is not quite as well suited to cartridge applications in my experience. You might also choose to use Pyrodex powder but be aware it is very corrosive.
