Got my two best BP rifles fired today... they were loaded for two years, and after cleaning the touch holes, they still wouldn't fire. I really, really didn't want to use the bullet puller on the ramrod.
The Pedersoli Kuntucky Hunter cap buster only needed the touch hole screw removed, powder poured in, screw reinstalled... then it fired it jus' fine.
The Lyman Deerstalker lefty flinchlock wasn't that easy. Removed the lock, then the touch hole screw, poured in powder, reinstalled screw and lock. The pan would fire but it wouldn't go off. So, I removed the lock and touch hole screw and put a match to it... Bang!
Now I gotta make up some cleaning solution and get 'em ready for another load.
