RB, I have that same barrel (GM .40 x 38x 13/16)I've been shooting 45 grs. 3F goex with .395 ball and .015
ticking spit patch and getting 1690 to 1700 fps.
That load was the 1st one I tried and it shot so well I've never shot any other. Great caliber, yours sure is a beauty.

Isn't that a heck of a piece of wood...I really lucked out stumbling across it.
I tried .015" patches and they worked Ok, but when I tried .018, the groups tightened up so I settled on 40grns Goex 3F / .018" P/T, and .395" balls.
Looking forward to getting into the woods with it a few times this fall
