Take the forend off. You will see a black metal retainer inside there. Lift it up some so more pressure holds it in place. Also make sure the tapered end of the rod goes in first.

If the above does not solve the problem order yourself one of these. I have 3 or 4 of them and they are a shade bigger in diameter. Don't let the leightweight aluminum fool ya, they are sturdy. Just cut to fit flush with your loading jag on.
