Can a muzzleloader possibly fire while loading?
I read of one account (I won't post the link cause it is a competing forum) where the guy was loading pyrodex pellets and in his second shot, the gun went off as he was pushing the bullet down. The rod blew out injuring his hand to where he has lost most use. Is this a real concern? I think pellets were perhaps the big culprit. I shoot powder in my inline ML so there probably are no embers left after shooting.
