Do as most would, put your ram rod in the barrel and see how much is sticking out the end of it, you should be able to remember how the ram rod looks in your loaded ML. If in dout pull the Breechplug and do the Manufactures recommended stepd for removing a loaded barrel.
What I do and have always done is put a pice of Masking Tape over the end of My ML Barrel to keep out moisture, when fired there's no guessing if it has a charge in it or not. But from now on put a mark on your Ram Rod when it's loaded, with the Ram Rod sticking out the end of your loaded barrel, (UN PRIMERED) take a knife or something similar to etch a mark where the Ram Rod meets the top part of your barrel, from now on you'll never have to guess again.
