The bullet I had trouble with was the Hornady Bore Driver ELD-X. When using the ramrod only, the bullet attached and left the gas check when pulling the ramrod back out.
I could put some putty or something down in the threads to keep it from grabbing the polymer tip, but I don’t want to...
Are you all running only the ramrod in the field? The loading tips/jags don’t fit through the ramrod guide clips, so it would be a time consuming process to screw that on when reloading (in the granted unlikely follow up shot opportunity).

Real disappointed in the latest Joe Pickett book. CJ Box just phoned this one in. Real bad.
