does this exist? hand pump/bellows

So my new muzzle loader - a nice TC White Mountain Carbine - has this issue..

From clean, I can load the first two shots fine but then the third is extremely hard. Easy - run a nylon brus up/down bore a few times, invert and knock the crud out. Problem is then the dogleg flash channel gets clogged and a nipple pick wont clear it so I have to pull the nipple and put a bit of powder directly behind as a booster charge

A blip of canned air clears it or at least seems to - will test that today after work. If that works though then I would like a bicycle pump or hand bellows or something that can give me a quick very directed 1/2cu ft or so of air

The canned air I have ought to get me thru a few range sessions but since my other TC is likely to do the same thing I would rather not depend on the canned air

(not worried about hunting since that will be a shot on a clean system)

Ideas?
