I feel like that may damage the muzzleloader don’t you think?
If a primer (or percussion cap) actually damages the rifle, you have no business shooting the thing anyway. BUT! There are a bunch of things that can plug a small hole. Even a grain of sand, if the hole is small enough. If you have a set of picks, I'd try those first. Harbor Freight has a mini hook and pick set for $1.99, and larger/more expensive set. Try something like that. Or embed a sewing needle in a chunk of dowel, and use that to try to pick the blockage out. HF also has sets of miniature drills. If the pick won't do the job, try a fractional millimeter drill in a pin chuck. Their micro drill bit set is $3.99. They don't seem to have a pin chuck these days. Amazon.com has several. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pin+chuck&crid=1RKAG4460ZFIO&sprefix=pin+chuck,aps,157&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Holy cow! Is this thing still plugged up?!? 🤣
If it is still plugged I think tannerite is the next logical option. LOL! 😂

I feel his pain been there with a problem that drove me nuts. Just wish he was closer I say bring it to me I will unplug it on way or another. I can tear stuff up as good as or better than most. :blush:
