I cant believe this price.
but it is easier with a range rod, when you are running up and down the barrel as much as I do at the range and when cleaning.

7.62 I used to think and do the same. But, if you had a range rod, you would never use the one that came with it. Except to reload in the field. They are so much easier and have, something to push down on, when you have a tight loading bullet. Instead of the rod killing your hand.

Thats just what I did for many years, I received one of the new rods we are talking about as a gift now if I got to the range with out it I would go back and get it. It made a difference in my groups I am not real sure why just that it did improve them.

Why do I need a range rod again?
btw..I don't load those funny, hard loading, plastic wrapped bullets. You'd probably need a range rod for those.

7.62NATO, I've had one of those Lehigh/Knight range rods for the last couple of years and ordered a second one yesterday so as to have one for swabbing and one with the load indicator set for the load I'm shooting. Over the years I've used a bunch of different rods. Believe me, there are none better.
I know it's difficult to imagine the difference between using a good range rod and the gun's rod. But if you could borrow one of those range rods to load and clean for a shooting session you would be ordering one as soon as you returned home.

One of the things that was asked of the original testers of the rod by Lehigh was to complete an evaluation of the product. From these evaluations Lehigh Dave did make some minor changes to improve the offering.
This is a write I did about them... but remember I am not a writer I stuggled in English classes... I was a product tester and they asked for a write up, so these were my thoughts.
