Default rotating range rod

When I ram a bullet down the bore I can feel the ramrod twist in hand on the way down. Can't help thinking there could be some abuse of bullet tip or sabot chafing caused by the friction. Wondering if a rotating tip on the rod might be useful. Doing a search I found some comments suggesting such a tip or rod may be available. Anyone have one, used one, and have feedback on it and where to get one?

I use a "Spin Jag" on my range rod and it certainly is an advantage... i highly recommend one...

I have had one, and some how it walked off from my loading station one afternoon. I have a good idea where it walked off too, but that's besides the point. The short time I did use it, I liked it. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_


I bought mine at Cabela's and it worked great. I especially liked them when loading XTP's. It worked flawless.

Well there you have it! Excellent.

Guess if I'd followed that "range rod" thread a week ago I could have saved some type. Sorry about that.
