Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaleH" data-source="post: 425184" data-attributes="member: 15636">This rifle actually has a ramrod to use to load the rifle if/when the breechblock gets too fouled up from heavy & continuous firing and won't open up properly. In fact, at the muzzle the last 1-1/2" of the barrel isn't rifled at all, but counter-bored , so you can thumb start a ball and push it down into the barrel, then use the ramrod to seat it down on top of the powder.  Pouring the powder down first just like a regular muzzleloader of course!</blockquote>
