[QUOTE="WSmitty01, post: 178692, member: 3618"] Forgot another important rule, put the original ramrod away and purchase a good synthetic one (not fiberglass, too hard on crown). I've broken at least a dozen in the 35 years I've been shooting BP. Propably had to shoot half of them out of the barrel, also seen a few shooters put broken ones through their hands. Better to be safe than sorry, also get a bullet puller for it in case you forget the powder, I just usually pull the nipple and trickle enough in to clear the barrel though! Lots to learn....also NEVER pour BP out of a flask directly into your barrel, there are bunches of measuring devices out there,,,one of the best parts of traditional shooting is making your own equipment, horns, leather goods, patches, knive etc! Have fun and be safe!!! [/QUOTE]
