This is kind of what I was talking about, but since it is a whole new ram rod and made of aluminum is looks like a better product. I think I will order one. Thanks for the link.

I WOULD USE 250GR SW SUPER GLIDES WITH 110GR 777 LOOSE POWDER. IN MY CVA THIS SHOOTS AND LOADS VERY WELL.

my brothers optima shoots the hornady xtp 300 grain 44 mag. bullets with the green sabots very well. you can buy them seperatley and put them together on your own to save a little money. he uses 100 grains loose pyrodex.

You can buy a T-handle that attaches to the female end of the ramrod and then folds out of the way. I have one of them on my Black Diamond XR and it works real good. Also a lot cheaper then getting another ramrod.
