Muzzle-loaders are strict disciplinarians (7)
I believe the answer is:
ramrods
'disciplinarians' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ramrods that I've seen is " Gunners' tools".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
