It depends
I am not familiar with the Cabelas trade musket so I am going out on a limb. If the flints are good ones, and you are using black powder, then I would look at the frizzen. I prefer Lyman frizzens and have fitted them to all of my T/C flintlocks with great success. The local gun shop sells Lyman frizzens for about $13.95. They are drop-ins on some flintlocks, while others need a bit of fitting. That is what I would do and see if it corrects the problem. All the best...
