I've never hunted with flinters, but have spent many days afield with two 16 ga. double percussion vintage guns. I've killed a limit of doves with them a couple times and taken wild bobs.
I learned with the quail to squat quickly at the shot to try to look under the smoke and see if the bird fell. Doves are a hoot with a muzzleloader.
Beautiful flinter, and dog, Jay.
