i saw a real good idea in the beartooth bullet forum, but you have to plan ahead a little bit. they suggested getting a grease fitting with the same thread as your nipple. if the ball gets stuck or is loaded without powder, just screw in the fitting and attach a grease gun and pump the ball out of the barrel. you could even use one of the refillable grease guns and use cheap shortening. sounded like a good idea to me. you will have a cleaning job on your hands afterward. never had much with ball pullers.

One of my friends dad made an attatchment for his air compressor to remove charges. It works so well that's how he unloads it after hunting if he can't or does not want to shoot it.

I bought one of those CO2 dischargers, and it works great. The only caution that I would advise is to make sure it is pointed in a safe direction. The last time I unloaded at home, I pointed it into the ground and it really "cracked" when I discharged the round ::.

I haven't heard about lighter fluid, but I do know this - a guy in the area was cleaning the bore of his percussion rifle with paint thinner. He stuck the patched rod in the bore. He then decided to fire a cap to "dry it out". He now has a metal hook in place of his right hand.
