:rotf: Do not feel bad any of you! You are now Buckskinners and riflemen the rest are just shooters. A 36 cal brass ram rod packs one hell of a recoil BTDT.

WV_Hillbilly said:I once saw a guy at the range who had drilled a hole through the end of the ramrod and put a short lanyard on it which then went around his wrist. I thought it was kind of dumb, but asked him, and he said that it was to prevent him from leaving the ramrod in the barrel.
It did make sense to me, but I probably wouldn't do it myself. Knock on wood, I've not launched any ramrods... YET! I think it's one of those events like 'dry ballin'... more like a matter of WHEN than IF... Just glad no one was injured...
Regards, and shoot safely, or maybe I should say load safely...?
