A couple times I have wanted to unload my bp gun without firing it. I have just unscrewed the breech plug and pushed the powder and the projectile out the breech end. I never really thought twice about it.
Since then I have seen some posts ( I think it may have been on another forum) where it has been advised to wet the powder before doing this. Is there a risk that a spark could cause ignition when unscrewing the breech plug?
Opinions welcome,
