Thanks for the responses.

So when I swab the barrel between shots I don't need to remove the breech plug? Will the jag pull the patch back up the barrel?

Since you are familiar with my rifle do you have a reference on the ram rod? Is the standard ram rod that comes with the MH II the proper tip to push bullets with a plastic tip down the barrel?

Should I switch to bullets without the plastic tip to remove one more problem from the system?

Thanks
Tom
