Major Rookie Mistake!
I was at the range the other week and made a huge mistake. Long story short my ramrod is no where to be found. It got fired down range. When it happened the rifle kicked like a mule and I thought I had goofed on the powder charge, but upon further inspection realized what I had done. After purchasing a new ramrod and thoroughly cleaning the gun, I see no visible defects. What things could be wrong that I can't see? I haven't took it to a gunsmith yet, but intend to.
