    Unloading without firing in the field

    I was wondering if y'all have any tips or tricks to unload in the field after an unsuccessful hunt. I hate having to discharge my rifle to clear it and was curious if there are any methods beyond using a bullet puller. I am hunting with my 1861 Springfield this year. Thanks, Patrick Ferringer
