Shooting my .45 better every time
Shot my ramrod out of my SMR. Fortunately I read here that most do it so I already had a spare but damn, that’s embarrassing. I even did it in front of an old timer that’s been shooting MLS for 50 years.
Not to brag, cuz I have made trillions of dumb shi_ moves in my life, but not that one. Glad you shared with us and no injuries.Shot my ramrod out of my SMR.

How well does a ramrod hold up to being shot?Our club has a special fund and if the shot ramrod is found, it gets mounted on a fancy plaque and presented at the annual meeting.

The short answer is not well. You won't be able to use it to load a patched ball as it will be cracked, if not broken in several places.How well does a ramrod hold up to being shot?
I had never even considered this possibility, but now that I know of it, I am doomed.
I've done that with my Pedersoli 1861 Springfield too. I always used a brass range rod but forgot it that day and down range it went. It was really mangled, resembling a pretzel.Yup. Nobody saw me shoot the rammer out of a repro '63 Springfield musket.
Yah right. Soon as a feller opens his big mouth, he's gonna stick his foot in it. Thanks for the reminder! I will however be more vigilant to loading procedure.tic toc tic toc
hard to sometimes ignore those that want to converse or that shapely blonde that strolls by. i would bet money that dry balling and playing archery with the RR is 90% caused by distractions.Yah right.

Holds up surprisingly well, but broke about ten inches off.How well does a ramrod hold up to being shot?
