Did you decide on a ramrod? I found most did not work as well as I liked with button jags. The rod was a tiny bit larger than the jag so patches ended up wrapped over onto the rod tip. I ended up using the "Cleaning" jags as they have a tapered section just behind the jag and let the patch have a place to go. Just a side note, the Rod I made from a carbon arrow worked great so far and don't weigh anything.
These are the jags I ended up using and work very well, they are concave so work well for loading too. They are longer so need to account for it in the length of the rod.

These did not work well on the aluminum rods I bought. They work just fine on a 22 to 26 cal rifle cleaning rod like my Dewey.
