A hand-held compression gauge for use with a ramrod in the loading of a muzzle-loading firearm comprises a generally cylindrical tube receiving a coiled spring. A member at one end of the spring is positionable relative to a longitudinal slot in the tube to indicate the axial compression of the spring upon the member being axially forced against a ramrod. Alignment of the member with indicia exteriorly adjacent the slot is indicative of an axial force applied to the ramrod.
