[QUOTE="Coues110, post: 2254393, member: 79005"] I couldn't see the original post as to the type of black powder weapon, but if you already have wet powder you can put the barrel in a vice and remove the breach plug, then find a rod and push the ball thru. If the powder is not wet in a cap and ball rifle I unscrew the nipple and dribble a few grains of powder into the barrel thru the nipple hole making sure you don't crush the powder when you screw in the nipple, cap, then fire it. If the bullet isn't expelled repeat with about 5 grains of powder and ram the bullet back down the barrel on top of the powder before firing. Make sure you don't have powder residue in the nipple threads before reinstalling the nipple and use a little grease on the nipple threads. [/QUOTE]
