LOL... I have almost all of that in my possibles bag... and I always wonder why the heck still I keep it around. Especially the ball puller jag... rofl. I tried to use that once, it was a pita. Found it alot faster to just remove the nipple, pour a couple grains of powder down the flame channel, replace nipple and fire the ball out. Only takes a few grains to get it to clear the barrel.

Tried using screw jag many years ago, just pulled jag off end of ramrod.
Way easier to do it your way.

I did it one time many years ago when I first started muzzle loader hunting. I then bought a Thompson Center ball dis-charger that uses a CO2 cartridge. You just push it down onto the nipple and the ball will shoot out, I used it once on a very rainy hunt to blow a maxi-ball out of my 54 caliber.
