CVA Accura V2 LR - 3rd Party Ramrod?
#11
The solid aluminum ramrod CVA uses is purposely made of softer material than your barrel so it will wear, and not the crown of your barrel, if you do scrape it while loading or unloading. I would suggest that you get a solid brass range rod to use for cleaning and most of your loading. Sand down your rifle's damaged ramrod, repaint it and only use it for reloading in the field.

Sorry to tell you this, but those aluminum rods surely can and have worn crowns. I've had more than a few rifles come to me to get cut and crowned because people thought that very same thing. Even brass cleaning rods can wear on a crown. ANY metal to metal contact friction can wear on the stronger metal over time and misuse.
