To load a musket rifle, the shooter first ensures the firearm is pointed away from themselves and others. They then pour a measured amount of black powder down the barrel, followed by a paper or cloth patch containing a lead ball, which is pushed down with a ramrod. Next, a percussion cap or flint is placed on the ignition mechanism, depending on the musket type. Finally, the musket is ready to be aimed and fired.
