Not at all. Everybody thinks you have to push out the load through the breech. I don't do that, because it gets powder in the threads.

Take out the breech plug with the barrel pointed down over a bowl. Then push the load out the muzzle. Pushing on the powder works fine. Pick the bullet out of the powder in the bowl and pour the powder back in the bottle, or throw it away. The bullet is the expensive part. All done and the gun doesn't need any cleaning.
