Hand isn’t rotating the cylinder. Scrub the star extractor and the hand the best you can. Then test it. If that doesn’t work, return it to the factory.
40 FF grains is good enough for target shooting and a starting load. It’ll take more, but it’s up you to figure out what works best for your purpose (target, hunting, plinking).
Like MLB, I’m also southpaw but I’ve also shot right handed guns. Concentrate on your front sight and you never...
For cold blue I’m impressed. It looks nice. Remember, those guns sometimes had their finish scrubbed off so they were bright white metal. It all depends on the unit.

Cylinder first because it has to contain the charge. Highest pressure is in the cylinder. After the cylinder, a lot of gas/pressure escapes from the barrel & cylinder gap.
Barrels #2 b/c of the pressure and the flying lead.
Frame has to hold it everything together but if it's cracked, it...
Check out the Naval Institute Press. They have books on the guns of various navies. Last time I checked they had one for German guns and three for the Royal Navy.
Cap 'N Mac is correct. Around the time of the American Civil War there were plenty of smoothbore guns shipboard. Rifled...
