I'm thinking of punching out the ramrod holder wedge/ring for a clean barrel.

Is this what you mean?

That's my .45 Shikari converted to muzzleloader by Ben Hubbard. It came with long banded forend, ramrod & thimble.
Thimble was hard soldered on, also removed by Ben.
It looked like the Huntsman of that era.
