A rammer is a round piece of wood, which serves to drive home the powder and ball to the breech. It is fastened to a stick that is used to push in into the muzzle and withdraw it.
Modern large artillery pieces use a hydraulic powered rammer to push the shell into the breach seating it into the rifling, before powder bags are loaded and the breach closed.
