I've removed the breech plug and retreived the powder. I was able to get out the bullet. However, the sabot is still lodged in the barrel. I've screwed the ram rod intothe sabot, but I can't budge it. Should I push or pull the sabot out of the barrel? Is there an easier way to dislodge this sabot?

Not sure what you were doing, but for my inlines I just remove the breech plug and push everything through from the muzzle. Sometimes it takes a bit of force, or even a "bump" or two on the ramrod to get things moving.
