Ignition while loading

Have you seen the one on silhouettes?

I'm not sure that I want to.

Boys and girls after 9 pages it comes down to this, just do want you want. Ricky Nelson sang "you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself".

Now I know we are not supposed to load a Muzzleloader from the flask but instead from a measure. My question is, has anyone had a measure of powder ignite while loading and under what circumstance IE: dumping it in straight after firing, having it go off after swabbing the barrel then loading. Only personal experience please, not hearsay. Cheers

I have loaded my revolvers directly from the flask for over 20 years. I always blow into the empty chambers before dumping in the powder. No issues.

Revolvers don't come into consideration with blowing down the barrel before reloading. Different animal.
