No, your ball is too large to get into that chamber. It doesn't take much powder to fill that chamber so your ball likely never even touched it. A jag large enough to hold a patch is too large to enter that chamber. What you probably felt was the fouling that resides at the bottom of the barrel after firing, it is infamous for grabbing patches, which is why it is recommended that you use short up and down strokes when swabbing between shots.
