What would be a good, civil-war musket to start with? I will be primarily using it for firing blanks on my own land, but also ocassionly shooting round balls on a AFR.
I'm looking to spend around £200-£300 for a reproduction model.

Might be worth going to a Sealed Knot or ECWS event and seeing if any of their kit takes your fancy.
Ron Curley of Albion Small Arms, I would recommend to you but I'm not sure if he is currently taking orders or not.

What's an AFR?
BTW - 99% of all American Civil War muskets shot Minie ball, NOT round ball.
IMO, unless you are buying something pretty old, £300 is not going to get you much there.

I'm still working on the basic assumption that this is our own civil war rather than one elsewhere.....
