Issue with Zouave need help
I posted last december I have a 1976 Italian made Zouave. I finally took it out to shoot it last weekend and today and have a problem. Running a patch down the barrel after the shot is tight but once the jag gets to the breech it's locking the jag in the barrel and not able to pull the ramrod out. Today, I was running a brush and a couple patches down the barrel between shots and was doing better but it finally stuck the ramrod and ended my shooting. I'm not that familier with the civil war guns, but what I'm shooting are the 577611 bullets with CVA lube over 70gr FFg, using german musket caps. The barrel has 3 wide riflings and I was thinking maybe it's just not liking the thicker skirt on the 611 minie. If I can't figure this out I'm just going to sell it and move on to something else. Any help would be appreciated.
