My old ramrods started to to wear a little too thin on my .62 and .54 caliber guns.
Making two new rods for each gun and 1 Brown Bess Ramrod.
Brown Bess is gonna taper from 11/32 to 3/8 up to 7/16 at the last 6 inches with a sheet brass tip.
Making two from White Ash at 3/8 straight with the very end being 7/16, 42 1/2inches.
Making one from red oak, no tip trumpet an concaved at the tip.
Making one from yellow birch, gona give this a try, its a more waxy type of birth that is used in long bow arrows.
