The weather is better, supposed to be in the mid 70’s today after being in the teens the last several days.

I recently got into black powder guns and acquired this .40 cal and hopefully will shoot a few balls through her later.

Only have 3 and 4F powder along with some Hornady rb’s to try out.

Thanks for your post. Thats a very nice looking flinter, & .40 too. Cool!
Enjoy getting acquainted with it.
 
I recently acquired a .40 caliber Dixie Cub flintlock. Was working on sighting it in. What’s your preferred load?
I just read another post of yours about the loads you were experimenting with, think they answered my question. Before the cold weather set in I was experimenting with a .390 RB , .15 patch, 35 grains. I noticed an old Dixie Gun Works catalog recommended a .395 RB , for the Dixie Cub,will experiment with that next.
 
I just traded for a Turner Kirklin 40 cal full stock yesterday and will soon order some round balls for it and seems I may need some other than .390 do any of you have one of these and could you tell me what was recommended for these rifles
