Finally happened. Stuck a cleaning rod and patch. Really stuck.

You removed it the correct way. Luckily you didn't do what many do. Use a wooden dowel to beat it out so you won't hurt the bore and brake it in the bore creating a second blockage. They usually split along the grain causing a wedge that gets tighter beating it form either direction. No wood dowels in the bore!

I stuck a cleaning jag in one of my muzzle loaders and I took the nipple out and pured a few grains of 4f in and replaced the nipple and fired it out.

Nope, never done this. Ever, OK, OK, once.

Well, yeah, maybe like three times.

Once I got a fired case jammed in the chamber of a Mosin 91-30. Apparently the chamber wasn't clear of cosmoline, after the first "thorough cleaning".
