Keep Your Powder Dry!
Or, at least put some in every cylinder!
 But if you don't, make sure that you bring a mallet (and punch, if necessary), nipple wrench and rod to get the stuck ball out. Otherwise, you'll have to waste a lovely day like Sunday was:  Actually, it wasn't totally wasted...I brought an 1858, too.

Couldn't you have just used the rammer to push the ball back in a little and then continued by only shooting 5 shots?
Just wondering...

A good argument for having a worm or ball puller in the possibles bag.

I just use a wood screw and a pair of vice grips......Not that I've ever loaded a dry ball of course.
