Sabot style bullet starter?
 
Who makes a short bullet starter for aerotip type bullets?

I have one that fits on a long ramrod, but can't find a short starter that this jag fits on.

I use a T short starter and then get the jag head I want and put that on the T handle.. works real good for sabots.

I have seen the powerbelt kit. Was hoping to not have to order the whole thing , since I just need the one

Cayugad: I see the T handles and the jags, but the write up shows them with an old style tip and if you screw that off, you are left with male threads, so I don't see how the sabot jag is screwed into the handle? Is there a particular T handle that has a female threads to screw the jag into?

Any jag will screw into the silver end of that. If you want to extend your ramrod for easier cleaning and it has one female end, then you take the silver end off and that black handle will screw into the ramrod and make it a range rod. Midsouth Shooters Supply have them for under $5.00 . I have a couple of them in my range bag because I can make a second range rod for swabbing...

Thanks Dave! That is why I keep coming to this place!

Also if you look at the Black T handle, there are different size ends. That's to make seating pointed sabot projectiles easier into the barrel.

Glad I could be of help.

I also use the "T" handle from TC and I also bought the Shockwave bullet jag that has a deep concave to support the SST, Shorckwave and other pointed bullets. That "T" handle is he best started that I have ever bought. Theydon't come muchbetter.

I have the SW bullet jag alsoon the same short T handle, the wood ones break and slip easy, here is the jag I have:
