Abstract: A tool for cleaning and loading muzzle loading rifles includes a tube having a longitudinal axis and a centered throughbore along the axis. The tube includes a head having a knurled outer surface and a front face recess. The recess is adapted to center and support the projectile. A shaft is mounted in the throughbore of the tube and protrudes out of the back of the tube, wherein the diameter of the shaft is less than the diameter of the throughbore. Accordingly, when the shaft is fixed to a cleaning rod, the tube is free to rotate on the shaft.
