When you use the extended jags like the one the end spins on it is very easy to bend it on the small end if it loose annd you dont notice. Also the small end has to go in the gun, if you want to leave a jag on the push pointed bullets down for reloading while hunting you have to put it on the big end. Of course you can always ignore the fact that damage on the nose of the bullet can make them fly eraticly. Lee
