Nope...

Your bore staff comes in 4-foot long sections, you don't have enough space in between the breech and the rear of the turret to feed the staff in. Normal practise is to feed the staff in from the muzzle, and have someone inside the turret ready to change the head, wrap cloth around the bell ramer, etc.
