need help please

[danny1975]

need info please. my muzzleloader is a break action and istead of shooting the bullet out like i usually do, i used a bullet puller and somehow the sabot came off, now seem like the bullet stuck in the barrel. I was wondering if i could try to push the bullet out the other end without messing the treads for the breech plug.

the bullet probably won't mess the threads up but whatever you push it out with might.

I planning on using the ramrod, but I might try to soak the barrel in water and see if I might could loosing it up to get it bullet out the other way.

Just use your ram rod and a hammer. You won't hurt anything unless the ram rod slips off to the side. And it shouldn't do that...

thanks for the info, i got it out

Be careful not to break your rod because that bullet might push out a lot harder than it does when you're loading it. I have a brass rod I got at the hardware store. If you use your ram rod, make sure you screw something into each end if both are threaded so you don't do any damage with the hammer.

Just pushout the backend, you wont hurt the threads.
