i only use 80gr of f2 and the rod i got is graphite.. i don't think i have to worry if i forget.. but yes,, i am aware of the dangers that could happen.. what would happen if a double charge was placed now you got me thinking.. some people mark their rods so they know where it should be when seated correctly.. i understand now why they do that,, i think that is the reason?? i am goanna do the same after thinking about that.. paranoid now after thinking about forgetting the powder.. i be double checking that from now on.. can you tell i am new to this type of gun and hunting with it??
