No, not really. I seat it with a series of short strokes and try to apply a consistent amount of pressure on the ball. The brass rod is marked so I know when I’m all the way down and on the ball.
 
I disagree that his moose milk is no secret recipe. I don't believe I've seen any recipes for moose milk. His recipe is several different ratios of ballistol to water on consistent thicknesses of ticking material. See what ratio works best with your rifle. Works great for me and other folks who try his method.
I heard about moose milk when I first started muzzle loading , simply it is a mix of water and water soluble oil of whatever type some times with other additives ,There are many varieties to be found on the net .
Dutch recommended soluble cutting oil in his first publications . After I and probably a lot of others told him about Ballistol he changed his recommendations .
The thing about Dutch's book is it is the only one I have read which is devoted to ML shooters and accuracy problems as well as cleaning , making range rods , patching , analyzing targets etc .
I have many books about building ML firearms , tuning locks and triggers , Book after book on Historical firearms , books on who used them and how they used them .
Dutch's book is the only one I have come across which deals with the subject of getting the best from your muzzle loader . Sure there are magazine articles and puny manufacturer's manuals on how to use your new firearm , but they usually have no depth on the subject .
