I think I would back off on that powder charge, if I remember right all of CVA's flintlocks where 45, so you might want to be around 25 to 35 grs. of FFFg and use FFFFg in the pan you will get better ignition. Most of those guns shot OK but you need to do some tuning to get any kind of accuracy out of them. Some of the old ones had just a hole drilled in the barrel for a flash hole, you would be better of to have someone install a flash hole liner. If you run into problems with it, I have a lot of CVA new old stock parts.
