Yeah i thought so to! What ever conical was down there wasn't coming out with a ball puller. No powder in the drum so i said fudge it, if it blows, it blows.
Added some pyrodex in the bolster, capped it, put it on the lead sled, put a string on the trigger and BOOOOM!
Powder channel must have been plugged up and didn't allow the last shooter to fire it off.
After putting it in warm soapy water, pure black fouling came out with that typical smell of goex.
