CVA PalmSaver Ramrod 50 Cal 28 in. Aluminum AC1704

Description

A worn or broken ramrod can turn an easy reload into a frustrating one, and the CVA PalmSaver Ramrod is built to fix that. This is the 28-inch version made from solid aluminum, so it holds up to the repeated pressure of seating tight-patched bullets without flexing or snapping the way older rods tend to. The standout feature is the PalmSaver itself, a polymer knob that threads onto a brass jag at one end and cushions your hand while you push a bullet down the bore. Anyone who has driven a bullet home with a bare rod knows how much your palm appreciates it after a range session.

What Sets the CVA PalmSaver Ramrod Apart

The clever part is how it stores. The knob is shaped to seat flush against the underside of the barrel, so the whole rod tucks away neatly and pulls free quickly when you need a fast follow-up load. The end opposite the PalmSaver has a built-in loading tip designed to cradle ballistic-tip projectiles like PowerBelt ELR bullets, which means you can seat those pointed bullets without deforming the tip. It is worth noting this rod is set up for loading rather than heavy cleaning duty at the bench.

Fitment for Your CVA PalmSaver Ramrod

This 28-inch model, CVA part number AC1704, is made for 2010 and newer CVA Apex, Accura PR, and Optima V2 LR muzzleloaders. If your rifle has a 28-inch barrel and you are running a rod that has seen better days, this is the direct drop-in replacement. CVA offers other lengths for shorter barrels, so matching the rod to your exact barrel keeps everything storing and deploying the way it should. The threaded jag uses a standard 10/32 pitch, which gives you room to add accessories down the road if you ever want to expand what the rod can do.
