Pursuit LT Ramrod Question
I recently purchased a Pursuit LT to add a month to my available hunting time. Maybe it is just me, but to load a T/C Shockwave on top of two pellets of Triple 7, you have to reverse the jag on the end of the ramrod. Is it safe to leave it reversed and shoot it this way? I would assume that there would be no possible way for a bullet to strike the jag or for muzzle blast to damage it. If I were using the rod as with the tip in the original position, it would not be long enough to seat the bullet in the breech.
I have a loading tip especially for the shockwaves, but it only fits the end of the rod that slides through the thimble towards the receiver. I have to remove it every time to reaffix the ramrod. This doesn't seem practical in a hunting situation. Granted that I would want a one-shot/one-kill, but sometimes follow ups are necessary.
After a shot, the way I see the ramrod working, I would have to remove it. Then, flip over the jag at the muzzle end of the rod just to get the extra three/four inches of length it provides. Load. Then, reverse the jag to reaffix it to the ML. Is that what you do every time you shoot?
I would like to have a rod with 10/32 at both ends with a loading jag for the shockwaves left attached at the muzzle end. The rod with the Pursuit has 10/32 on one end and 5/16on the other.
Is the way I am using it correct? Should I replacethe ramrodwith something better(threaded 5/16 on both ends)? Any Pursuit shooters out there got a suggestion?
