Makeshift ramrod?(please help)

[moonedzx9]

This will be my first year hunting with a muzzleloader so I'm fairly new to the sport of muzzleloading. I am shooting a Knight Revolution that I inherited. The ramrod broke the other day while I was at the range. I really don't have the funds to buy a new one at the moment and Knight said it would take 7 days to get here when I order it. I get paid on Friday but I'm really wanting to go hunting this weekend. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks for any help.

hit walmart, if they are doing black powder stuff. look for the tc power rod (think that is the right one there), they are marked down right now in my area. $17

Wooden dowels will work in a pinch but be careful with them... they can break if the wood is flawed.

If a ramrod is what you need you might just have to wait, or go to a sporting goods store that sells muzzleloader supplies. Pick up a range rod and use that until your ramrod comes.

I make mine by buying an aluminium doll at the hardware store, drilling an tappin a hole in each end.
