Round stuck in old TC BP Rifle - Need Help!
Does anyone near Hopkinton have a nipple wrench that will fit an old Thompson Center .50 cal black powder rifle?
There's a round stuck, not sure how long it's been in there. I've tried loosening it with a few caps but it won't budge. I thought if we could remove the nipple a pour a little fine powder in there it might do the trick.
Is there anything else that could work? Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
Buy or make one of these.

Just because you can't believe it, doesen't mean it isn't happening.
Point it downrange and hit it with a torch

Didja try a CO2 "silent ball discharger?"
Cabela's has 'em - they work great:

get the adapter to suit your gun
Maybe Santa will bring you one?
Oh what fun is that?

You can try one of these, to pull the bullet http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Catego...rtNum=BP-50-10
Walmart usually has a combination wedge puller and nipple wrench, but that varies from store to store.
Hahaha, best product name ever. "Load Discharger"
This sounded the funnest, so I tried it first. The propane torch wouldnt get it hot enough to go off. However, it was an exciting few minutes I must admit.
One of those screw type ball pullers finally did the trick after letting it soak in a squirt of Hoppes.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
