I do not know what the standard load for a 10ga ML was. For many years standard for the 10ga breech loaders was 1oz shot with up to 5 drams powder. W W Greener stated the powder charges used in the 10 were all out of proportion for the 1oz shot load used.
he further added the 12 would handle 1oz as efficiently as the 10 & any advantage the 10 held over the 12 was obtained only by use of a heavier shot load. He particularly recommended a 1oz shot load with 4 drams powder.

Better off going with the earlier fellows reply about looking for "light shining through the sides" than looking with a bore scope.  When I bought the Scott I had...(which was in a lot better shape than the one you have) I inquired about looking down the barrels with a bore scope. My muzzleloading mentor the late Ed Mason replied that if I did I'd most likely never shoot one again.

Well, the right cone was easily drawn, but the left, not so much. Letting it soak in penetrant. Will apply just a bit of heat. Very small square shank on these little fellas and not a lot of purchase.

Do you have a percussion nipple wrench or a 1/4" drive four sided socket (call your Snap On tool man about the socket)? If not you'll risk rounding the shank. Even though a little carefully applied heat should get the penetrating oil down into the threads. Heat then apply penetrating oil, repeat several times.

jOe's absolutely right Kroil's really good stuff! I've used it extensively on numerous automotive projects while I lived in the Midwest rust belt. It was often a project saver. However, it can be hard to find, I ended up ordering mine straight from Kroil. Steve

Rock a Doc....I don't need you to sing back up on anything I put our there.
Kroil is only hard to find if you don't know where to look.

I am out of Kroil. It has been good to me.
Steve, I'll see about finding a socket.
