I just got a brass ramrod for my pedersoli 2 band 1858 enfield. Currently it holds the steel rod which came with the gun very tightly. However the brass rod is loose when inserted into the gun. It will fall out if I hold the gun upside down. I measured the diameter of the rod and I got 0.25" whereas my steel rod was 0.28" in diameter. I then tried putting a little bend into the brass rod but it did not help much. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can make it fit tighter? Or does anyone know somewhere I can get a thicker brass rod. I bought this one from S&S Firearms. Also does anyone just use the steel ramrod? I just don't want to damage the bore since my gun shoots really well.
