My shooting buddy has you beat. He has launched TWO steel rammers downrange. We found one. It was bent into a "U" shape. The other one, never found it. I was standing next to him and got hit by pieces of musket cap from the huge back pressure thru the nipple.

Shot mine once, but it was on purpose. I don't recall exactly what happened, but it seems I remember a spit patch followed by two dry after a shot.
The ramrod somehow stuck on a patch, and I couldn't get it out any which way.
I took the nipple off, give it a pinch of black powder down the hole, replaced the nipple and lit it off.
The ramrod held up and all was well. (The ramrod was from http://www.periodramrod.com/ . No, I don't work for them, but I appreciate the strength due to my clumsiness!)
