A friend of mine came over tonight. A couple of weeks ago, he sighted in his in-line muzzle loader and then loaded it - with three pyrodex pellets and a 250 gr. Shockwave. This afternoon, forgetting he had already loaded it, he loaded it again in preparation for the opening day of the second rifleseason here in Colorado. I took out the breech plug and got rid of the bottom charge, but I'm hesitant to put a lot of pressure on the ramrod to push the two bullets and remaining pellets out of the gun.

Is there a possibility the remaining pellets could discharge from a lot of compression? Or is there a trick - like using WD-40 - to nuetralizing the powder and making the two bullets slippery enough to slide out without using a mallet? Thanks. Roskoe
