Rammer Blanks?

[Smokey Plainsman]

What’s a trusty source for straight grain rammer blanks, 3/8? No runout please.

Thanks!! If I order a few ramrods, what would be a good method of storage so they don’t warp? Do they have a shelf life?

Smokey,
  I bundle my ramrod blanks together with elastic bands.  I've also stored then loose in a cardboard tube - it doesn't seem to matter.  I keep them in a closet or under the bed or in the basement or where ever they end up - also doesn't seem to matter.  If you don't break one, it should last forever.

I put 4 zip ties on a bundle and hang em on the gun rack. If you take one out just tighten up the tie and put em back.

If you're using them for rammers, a little curve helps keep them in the gun. 

As arrows, curvature is is not a help.

I'm with Acer.  A little curve is good.  Just no runout.

Thanks, friends.

Now all I need are the periods tips. Once I get those, I’ll need instruction on how to enmounten them to the rod with minimal tools. Will probably post another thread asking how. Okay thanks,
