Broken Ramrods!
We had a mishap at the club last week. A fellow was using a wooden ramrod to load his .50 Hawken. The rod snapped off and the fellow put the barrel-end of the ramrod through his hand.
I always tell my classes on Black Powder to choke DOWN on ramrods, especially wooden ones, and keep both hands close to the muzzle when pushing a load down the barrel; especially when the bore is fouled. The key to survival and safety is: SHORT STROKES! Adam
