Missed! Now I cannot pull the charge help!
 

I am not in a good mood-
missed a 5x5 at 100 yds tonight

To top that-I am trying to clean and cannot push the sabot through the breech-any tips?

I forgot what kind of gun you have butthat is a little strange... but then there are a lot of things I do not know...In the Omega mine get caught on the threads but eventually come out.

My suggestion would them be to push it out the muzzle. You have to use a small diameter rod so that you do not flare the the sabot (is it a sabot). Has the powder fell out? I use a 1/4" hardwood dowel, but yourange rod will work. Do not try it with the jag on though...

If it doesn't slide up easy pour some hat water from the muzzle down onto it wait a couple of minutes then push it out....

Just had another possible explaination, can you see the projectile at the top of the threads or is it up the barrel a bit... The reason I ask could it be stuck on the "crud ring' from the previous shot....????

try spraying some wd-40 down the bore and let it sit and then push. May have to push it back out the way you put it in. I once got a great plains bullet stuck due to crappy powder and had to use my spare ramrod and a rubber mallet to get it out.

Sorry I probably could have put some more info in the thread
50 cal Omega Super Glide Sabot
powder is out and sabot is sitting on threads-stuck like ****
can't push eitherway

I pulled a load the other night no problem-it was tight but it came out -Ill try some more

Time to unite Mr hammer with Mrs. Ramrod and punch it out.

Well I just got it out- Hot h20 worked good-smashed the crap out of my hand though-just chalk that up on my great night

Well after that you no tomorrow will be great... You can not have two of those days....

Good that you got it out. A miss always sucks but hopefully you'll have better luck next time out there and get him. 5x5 mule deer or whitetail? I know the feeling of a cut wrist due to a sharp sight, happened to me a few times on my flintlock. A lot less painful than slamming your thumb in a door jam on a 59 chevy apache though :D. Now all u have to do it give it a good cleaning.
