Hey guys. Got a load stuck in my traditions Kentucky that won't go off. Air compressor won't blow it out and someone ran off with my ball puller and didn't put it back. No store to get one here either. Have to order one. Is there any way to get it out? I removed the liner and everything trying to get this thing to fire but nothing but flashes in the pan.

Do you have access to a fuse?

Straighten out a hair pin and scrape out as much as you can from the removed liner. Then put as much dry powder in and replace the liner. Shoot it out immediately.
I'll see if I can find some like a paperclip or hair pin.
This worked. Problem solved

yup but with white lighting liners you must push 4f into the 1/16 hole can take a while (if ball does not exit push more powder through touch hole and RESEAT the ball before firing 2nd time)

Can you find a grease fitting to match the threads of the hole the flash hole liner came out of?
I got it to fire with the hair clip and a pipe cleaner. But from now on, I'll do a better job cleaning out the breech.
Grease gun method worked great for me when I had a stuck ball. Extremely messy, but safe and effective. Not appropriate if the touch hole liner can't be removed, and also if not a percussion gun with a removable nipple.
The gun I used it on turned out to have metric threads, so keep that in mind if OP wants to try this method and goes looking for a grease gun fitting.
Oops, continued reading thread and saw problem solved. So .....
