I shot a brass jag out of .54 smooth bore. Thing got stuck, or the cleaning patch did. I was a couple hours walk from home, so I pulled the nipple and put a little FFFg in the hole, replaced the nipple capped it and fired. Never did find the jag.
As for safety, I didn't see an issue at the time. Thinking back on it, I still don't see a problem. I used a tiny amount of powder. The stuck jag was smaller than the bore, the patch is forgiving.
