You have to use the worm on the end of the ram rod to take out the overshot wad., the shot will fall out then so you can ut it back into your flask, horn etc.
Then you oull wuth cushion wad and the hard nitro card wad.Then take out the powder- pretty much the reverse order of how you put it in there!
And yes, it is safe as long as you do not have a big o White Owl Invincible in your yap or any other smoke for that matter!!
In the dry weather one must be aware of their card wads, yes, they will smoulder for a time and can be a bit of a hazard!
