[QUOTE="sun, post: 5149824, member: 8678"] I've always used the Traditions wooden palm saver because it's flat on top but anyone can make their own with a simple drill bit. The hole on the Traditions may be a little larger than necessary. A wrap of masking tape may provide a better friction fit. Anything can be used as a handle, some home improvement or craft stores may sell wooden balls, or drill a golf ball. A range rod can use a threaded handle, but it's optional for a portable ramrod that fits under the barrel. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/traditions-wooden-palm-saver-ramrod-handle-a1296.html[/URL] If you have a question about threading a rod just give RMC a call. Maybe they will tap both ends for you if it's not a standard offering. It doesn't hurt to have both ends tapped. Good luck with whatever you decide. P.S. Brass is not indestructible and can still bend. But if you use a thick wooden dowel as a range rod, you can save wear and tear on the brass rod, and on your crown. A thick dowel can be found at hardware stores or Lowes etc... for a couple/ few Dollars. Get a much thicker one than the original, and use the brass when threaded accessories are needed or hunting.
