Why Brass? Seems like a aluminum one wouldn't scratch the bore either.Buy a good range rod! Preferably brass with a muzzle saver. A real good ball starter to. My Knight inline is a bear to load. Best money I spent.

Proud to be here Sir, thanks. My muzzleloader came from Illinois, not central Indiana; lol.From central Indiana.
Brass is a lot stronger. Wont bend as easily if you get a tight one. Also is purtyWhy Brass? Seems like a aluminum one wouldn't scratch the bore either.
Should have said non marring! I have a couple brass range rods. A large diameter for .50 and up and a small diameter for my .45. I just hear so many stories of wood ram rods breaking and carbon rods losing jags. I've never had a problem with the brass rods. I'm sure aluminum are just as good.Why Brass?

Nope, all good stuff. I would suggest tape rather then a permanent mark as loads and ball sizes change. I keep a roll of red electrical tape in.my box.i load what I'm going to shoot for the day and make my mark.Thanks Cent, I hadn't added a data book to the list of stuff to get, but I will. I guess I can use some tape on the ramrod and mark witness marks in pen before making a permanent mark on it to start with, as things will change considerably as I experiment. That make sense, or is that too much?
