The tapered end of the ramrod is built that way, to click into the stock and remain secure. Both threaded-ends I'm guessing are still 10/32 threads.

See which end fits your bullet starter best. Not sure if yu are using a t-handle or a rubber ball-type starter that fits over the end of the ramrod. Whichever end has little or no slop, is the end you want at your bullet-loading hand. Use the other thread-end of your ramrod for your loading jag.

Make sure your jag-end is hollowed-out, if using ballistic tip bullets. Also best to use a spin jag for loading.
