Is this a new gun, with a new barrel? If so, that barrel needs a good cleaning to remove machining oils, before any range time.
Though it sounds like you have the problem solved, at least for now.

"I've read a thread on here about the same topic, and I'll try some of the things suggested like tying the rod to a tree and pulling on the rifle. That will probably get it out."
It was probably my thread. This is my 5th muzzleloader experience and it's still frustrating especially when you're not sure what the cause is. I'm still working on it but nothing for sure yet. If you figure it out let us know.
