Only done it twice (in rifle)
Some kits will have a little screw worm thing to go on a cleaning rod, which you can then screw into the soft lead ball and pull out.
You *may* be able to drive it out with just a percusion cap (doubtful).
Some will snap a cap, then unscrew nipple and put a few grains powder in, snap cap, etc... some folks will tell you this is a bad idea.

The BEST thing going is to get a CO2 powered hinky which fits over the nipple and blows the ball clear. Pretty inexpensive and more importantly it's safe and easy.
