Have you ever made your own? We did years a go. its takes a bit of time a couple 10-32 nuts a jag and a end off an old wood or plastic ram rod a piece of aluminium doll and a 10-32 screw and a piece of small brazing rod. For tools you need a hand motor drill a drill bit to take the threads out of the ramrod end a drill [#21 to center bore the aluminium doll] a 10-32 tap to tap the aluminium doll and a way to cut the head off the 10-32 screw with out spoiling the threads. It takes a bit of time but thats the only way I could get them before they made them commercially. Lee

No I never tried to make one. I can work with wood, or build a house, but when it comes to metal... forget it. I do have a friend that is very talented in the metal end of things. I might have to discuss this with him. I got him and his two kids involved with muzzleloaders...

Good shooting Cayugad, in what I would consider impossible conditions. I've become real fond of those 200gr./.400 XPTs. As you know, I'm usually a 300 grain bullet fan, but those little 40 caliber things really shoot and have satisfied me as far as effectiveness on game goes.

Good shooting Dave, looks like your ready to go hunting.
