Projectile lubricating and muzzle loading device for gun

A projectile lubricating and muzzle loading device for muzzle loading guns, the device comprising a body structure having:

• (a) a top surface;
• (b) a bottom surface for placing on the muzzle of the gun when inserting a projectile thereinto, the bottom surface having a ring shaped member thereon for receiving the muzzle thereinto and aligning said device therewith for purpose of loading a projectile into the muzzle;
• (c) an aperture adapted to receive and hold said projectile during lubrication thereof and defined by a side wall structure extending from and connecting the top surface to the bottom surface, the axis of said aperture aligned substantially at right angles with the bottom surface and substantially coinciding with the axis of said ring member thereby aligning the projectile contained in said aperture with the muzzle of the gun for loading the projectile thereinto when the bottom surface is placed on the muzzle;
• (d) a resilient member contained in said aperture which cooperates with the projectile when placed in said aperture to restrict the flow of lubricant towards the rear of the projectile thereby preventing contamination of powder with lubricant when the projectile is loaded into said muzzle for firing;
• (e) a conduit located in said side wall structure between said resilient member and said top surface, said conduit designed to introduce lubricant into said aperture from a lubricant reservoir when the projectile is contained in the aperture.
