Depending on the rod you may want to remove the handle cause tapping on it can break the little pin or rollers inside it. Depending on projectile you may want to use a jag for hollow points and nothing for round nose or flats. I stood 45 deg to the muzzle thinking that if it fired I'd be out of the line of fire and if it exploded I was not near the barrel.

Will give this a go shortly - thanks for advice all.
One query the round is a plastics tipped number - do I risk it expanding it out in the barrel hitting it out from the muzzel?

Tried - didn't work as hoped, maybe I need to get angrier?
