Best Answer

In the case of a muzzle loader, you wouldfirst swab the bore with a dry patch, then fire a test shot by leaving the bore unloaded and charging the pan on a flintlock or placing a cap on the nipple in the case of a cap lock and firing to see that the flash hole is clear. Again swab the bore, then pour your measured powder charge (varies by type of gun and caliber) down the barrel, followed by a lead ball with a cloth patch wrapped under it. The patch and ball would be rammed down the barrel and firmly seated on the powder charge. Then the pan would be charged or the nipple capped, you have a loaded rifle.
