Use a range rod at the range and save that ramrod that comes with the rifle for loading in the field. If I have to load with it twicea year that means I have two deer, and am a luck man... I have loaded twice with the rifle's ramrod, just to see if I could get it done.

Why anyone would not have one or two range rods baffle me. I like a nice strong range ramrod. It really comes in handy.
