Spinjag bullet starters

[Bushfire]

Curious if people have used these and what their thoughts on them are.

I'm thinking I'll need something for the Hornady Monoflex sabots in my Missouri River when in the field. I have a round ball starter but think it may deform the nose and effect accuracy.

I did get a quote from spinjag, the starter, shipping and currency conversion makes it $80 my money, which is bloody pricey in my books.

Are there any other cheaper options for loading tight sabots in the field?

I did drill one out loaded it up with epoxy JR WELD and inserted a projectile with a little grease till epoxy set up and the next day it worked fine ,only negative different profile needs a new jag

I have used them for years (their ramrods). Had two custom made for my Knight DISC rifles and also one for a CVA Optima. Work great! Never had an issue with them. Never had one of their bullet starters though...

I've started similar projectiles in my rifles using a regular bullet starter. Never deformed a tip. That polymer material is pretty hard stuff.

I use the Spin Jag - Original. It is an excellent loading and cleaning tool!!!

This picture is with a lead conical but it also loads CEB and other pointy bullets just fine...

You could loosen your loading jag by a few turns allowing it to rotate as you push the bullet down the bore.

Thompson Center® T-Handle Short Starter | 7127 | Muzzle-Loaders.com

Use that with the spin jag. For the price, buy a couple of them.

I use this: Traditions Hunter Bullet Starter & Ramrod Extension Model #A1335 (pcsoutdoors.com)

Buy once, cry once. To my knowledge, there is no better (or even equal) system out there than the
Spin-jag system. It's like buying a Rolls-Royce rather than a Yugo.

The Spin Adapter is another way to go. I use the setup below exclusively with my 45.

I have come close to buying them a few times but the price dissuades me everytime.

From what they said international shipping is a minimum of $25 usd to Aus, not my place to argue their policy though so that's fair enough.

Mind you Lee Shaver is shipping my sights to here for $6, so I know it doesn't need to be high.

I think I'll sit on it for now, from memory I have a barnes loading tip, might epoxy it into my 50 cal round ball starter and see how that goes.

Do you get free shipping on amazon there?

I bought my first Spinjag when I noticed that the plastic tip of my bullet had pushed down into the hollowpoint. I used it hard for years and it finally got too loose. I ordered another. That is a ridiculous price. Shipping internationally is a hassle. If I remember right, it required a trip to the Post Office instead of just dropping it in the mailbox. $25 does seem excessive, and $80 seems like robbery. There are other jags that fit pointy bullets, and you can always get your rotation at the handle end.

I have several of the Spin Jags. A good product.
