New guy. Fixing to shoot my rifle for the first time in the coming days. I’ve read how to measure the range rod and mark it for Empty and Loaded. But when I’m in the field, I’ll be using the rod that came with the rifle, CVA Optima V2. The range rod is much longer than the rifle rod, so it appears that the rifle rod cannot be marked accordingly. I assume I use the rifle ramrod AS IS.
In the field; Question
When loading a bullet (bore driver FTX), place in the barrel and push down, followed by the knuckle saver bullet starter, then the rifle ramrod. The ramrod has a palm saver on one end and a recessed threaded end on the other. I assume the recessed end will be used to seat the bullet to the powder, with no additional add-ons, correct?
