Thank you all for your support and timely replies! It was kind of humbling for me to even post this, but I was wound tighter than a clock spring and had to let it out. I have been shooting and ENJOYING muzzleloading firearms from the time I was in High school and thought I had seen it all. This was the one incident that knocked me back a few steps and made me think just how easy accidents can happen. I will keep my guard up higher next time....BPS
