I like black powder pistols, can you fill me in on conversions? Can I use modern bullets? Or do I need to buy special loads?

Thanks,
Chad
 
Here is to get you started.

Buy a Black-powder revolver, can be order to your door (no FFL needed), depending where you live. Check your laws.

Then get a conversion kit or conversion cylinder (no FFL to purchase). Their not cheap. But better than dealing with a FFL. Depending on cylinder, no major tools needed. Get a drop-in.
Conversion kits, your need tools and some mechanical skills. Depends on which kit you buy.

When you buy the cylinder, it will state what type of metallic cartridge to use, depending on caliber.

<< Or do I need to buy special loads?>>

See latter. Make sure you buy a steel B.P. revolver, NOT BRASS.
