Swamphunter Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My sons .50 cal TC Impact has a ramrod extension (appr 4" long) with a sabot seating jag on the end. When you replace the ramrod after loading, the extension and jag stick out about 4" beyond the end of the muzzle. Can you not shoot with the extension on the ramrod? Do I have to remove it every time before shooting? Not replace the ramrod? On my TC Thunderhawk, my ramrod doesn't stick beyond the muzzle. I realize a mod will move this, but hopefully not before I get an answer. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStreblo Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Need a muzzleloader ramrod question answered quick I've shot with mine extended with no adverse effect on accuracy. Does char and blacken the extension something fierce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yep, should be fine Ken. So long as the rod does not have a handle that is in the line of fire it would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just a thought Ken. You may need the extension to load his gun but could you use your ramrod to load his gun instead? The only concern I would have is the extra length catching on something or possibly causing the rod to come out of the holder and falling out. I'd keep the extension turned around to shorten the rod if I could. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 It's got clearance and fits tight. Just then owners manual never addressed it. Thx everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 My buddy's wife just bought that same muzzleloader. How do you guys like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 CVA mler has the screw out extension on the jag end, not really something you want to be fumbling with to reload when hunting. I leave mine extended when hunting. Use a range rod when shooting from bench. Like Lynn said a concern with hanging it on something. Unfortunately if it is like the CVA you probably can't turn it around because the jag won't fit through the thimbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
