New Barrel for the GPR.

ok I'll try it while being scared as heck.

Another question, when seating the ball are you suppose to feel the ball go into this breech (the smaller section at the bottom), seems one of the balls I felt this and the others I didn't.
 
No, your ball is too large to get into that chamber. It doesn't take much powder to fill that chamber so your ball likely never even touched it. A jag large enough to hold a patch is too large to enter that chamber. What you probably felt was the fouling that resides at the bottom of the barrel after firing, it is infamous for grabbing patches, which is why it is recommended that you use short up and down strokes when swabbing between shots.
 
SUCCESS

I poured 10 grains of fffg (I measured it) though the flash hole doing a little at a time and tapped the barrel with a plastic mallet till it ran down in there. Put a cap on and POP out it came hehe. THIS FORUM ROCKS!!! Thanks alot guys!!!
 
Excellent. One trick I have found is to carry one of these with me whenever I shoot at the range or in the field.

If my jag/patch gets stuck in the fouling at the breech, I simply screw the handle into the end of my rod and grasp the shaft with my left hand and while lifting the rod/gun slightly off of the ground or my boot, repeatedly slap down sharply on the top of the handle until the weight of the gun begins to pull the rod free. It may take several strokes, but it hasn't failed me yet.
