Save your wooden or synthetic ramrod for hunting or display. Use this "trick" to pull a stuck patched ball:
1) Make the gun safe. Dismount the barrel, or remove the nipple.
2) Pour in 2 or 3 ounces of Track's best #BORE-CLEAN solvent, to soften fouling, penetrate the patch, and lubricate the stuck ball.
3) Wait 30 minutes (not more), then drain and discard the above sovent. Do not allow it to stand overnight, which might rust the bore.
4) Install Track's best #BP-50-10 ball puller (assuming .50 caliber) on the rod. Or select the correct caliber.
5) Bump the the sharp tip of the ball puller into the stuck lead round ball. Turn it in, two or three full turns.
6) Withdraw the stuck patched round ball. If the tip pulls out of the soft lead ball, turn it in a bit further.
7) Clean your rifle bore using the remaining #BORE-CLEAN solvent and #OX-CLEAN-58-C flannel patches, then oil the bore with #BC-PS-4 Barricade, or #RIG-3 Rust Inhibitor Grease, or WD-40, or any good water displacing oil.
This is our strongest cleaning and loading rod, designed to give a lifetime of service.
