I know guys that will mark their ramrod such that they know if the gun is loaded when they put it down the barrel. Seems like a good idea to me. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

Seems like a good idea to me. Ok unless you change loads often. I have loads I think I can do better with I might try. Very confusing having 3 or 4 marks on a Ram Rod. Only been shooting Muzzleloaders since mid ‘60’s so I’m pretty New at it. Seen just about everything. Seen guys load double powder, double balls and just double loads. Most barrels will hold up. I only had problems with one Gun it was a Navy Arms Shotgun. Blowed up after 5 shots. The worst thing is use Smokeless Powder. oneshot

Forget all about this weapon when they have a pistol pointed at them. When they came to get me in the Ambulance. I was loaded and remembered I had my pistol. Had one of the First Responders get it and give it to my wife. In reality she should have gotten it well before then. oneshot fishinwrench 1

MOPanfisher Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Only mark you need on the ramrod is "empty" and in reality if you can't feel it seat properly when you load or if you can't tell the feel and sound of the ramrod hitting steel on and empty ML, I say stick with metallic cartridges. Smokeless powder, unless it is one of the very few ML designed for it usually results in a fairly spectacular failure.
