    Steel rod

    2 Horses

    Some skirmishers use brass rods, many use steel.

    Not gonna get into a pecking contest over what some feel is better.

    I’d highly recommend a STEEL ram rod.

    Just be sure to wipe it down after each event, in short keep it clean, esp the head.

    muzzle guard

    2horses,
    I agree with everything the Col. has stated. I would also add the use of a Range Rod with a Brass Muzzle Guard to center the range rod in the bore. You can re-crown the muzzle too. It adds to accuracy.
