So I screwed up and forgot to pull the ramrod before pulling the trigger. The rifle is a Traditions Pa. Pellet flintlock in 50 cal. They say you can safely put 3 pellets (150 gr) of Pyrodex in it. My load is only 80 gr of loose Pyrodex RS over a 240 gr Hornady XTP in a sabot. When I got home, the breech plug unscrewed as easily as it had in the past. The lock mechanism appears to be fine. I do have an email in to Traditions to see what they say but thought I would check here too.

Any comments (besides a well deserved DUMB $H!T)?

Thanks,

Dale
