I have two of the little darlings.  20 grains of 3f works in one the other won't fire with less than 30 grains.  .440 round ball and a 10 linen patch loads easily with just a short starter.  They make plenty of noise and smoke.  Don't expect accuracy at any thing longer than poker table distance.

Great guns! They can drop a Crow on the run at 100 yds! (seen Chuck do it in the Mountain Men)

Hopefully it is no longer unfired and you have started to collect $120 of fun from your pistol.

Enjoy
