Looking at the barrel.. I would guess it is a Trade Rifle barrel. That means it has a 1-48 twist. My .54 Flintlock shoots a .535 roundball with 90 grains of 2f black powder very very well. It also shoots Powerbelts 405 grain .54 caliber. And my .50 caliber Trade Rifle shoots sabots real good.

So you can call it a Trade Rifle, but with all that brass I might be called a Hawken rifle also. Or you could call it ... "Bob." It is still a fine rifle.
