Anyone fire one of these? What load did you use? The Ordinance Board in 1842 recommended 65 grains bp.

I had a Remington Jenks many years ago. It was worn out, burned out and unsafe to fire. I really liked the feel of the gun and thought about restoring it to firing condition but that was far too much work. Fine balance and pointability but it was light. I expect 65 grains would really rock your world and probably would max it out at 50.
Xheck with College Hill Arsenal as they have had several Jenks Carbines for sale in the past. They might could find you one.
