between the explosive material and the bullet once should always put some kind of fabric (cotton, felt) or paper! Otherwise the charge can go off when you press the metalic bullet into the barrel. I used to shoot with a slightly bigger muzzleloader cannon and still have my hands and fingers just because I followed this simple caveat. Nice cannon indeed
