Norman: Oh great!! That sounds very encouraging. (I'm also a muzzle loading shooter). If you have one of those tiny flashlights with a bright white light, you might be able to see the ball? Its sort of a shame having to thread a hole in that original ball, but thats likely the only way you can do it. However, it would be great to see if there is original powder and ball - and maybe wadding - down there. Make sure you save it in a plastic bag. And, of course post pictures!!! Thanks again. Rick.
