A lot of time the fowling jn the barrel,on the patch got the thing stuck. In the past when I get a ramrod stuck, I pour dishsoap water down the barrel. This floods the patch and area that got stuck. I then wrap the ramrod exposed endin masking tape and put that end in a vice. Then start to jerk the rifle away from the vice and normally it will come free. Once you get it moving do not stop. Keep pulling until you get the whole thing out of the barrel.

Normally this happens when the fowling is bad, the patch is too big, or the cotten patch is not wet enough.
