Not a "speed loader", but the Mrs has pushed many-a-round into her 73's using this. Get the round started into the gate with one hand push it in with the pusher. She can load ten faster than I can w/o it. It's a wood finial drilled to accept the dowel. 45C round for size reference. Might have $1 invested.

Not sure what the extra handles and stuff is for with that kit. Try this one. -
Exactly. And the low-hanging fruit is the shotgun. SG is the only gun we load on the clock. Git gud at loading the SG.

Now I'm going to have to dig out the civil war records of my great grandfathers that my dad "sent off for" many years ago.

I'm surprised most of us are still here!

When the contractor built the "neighborhood" (one dead end road with 16 houses) they ran 12/3 for temporary power in the trees behind the construction sites. There was a big ravine behind the houses across the street. We found a remnant of the temp power line and used it to get a good running start and swing out way over the ravine. Then one day we climbed the tree the line was in and found it attached by one staple. -
Indeed. For a glimpse into the brutality read James Bradley's other book Flyboys. ETA link... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyboys:_A_True_Story_of_Courage

Forget the trigger. Can you explain how pulling the hammer back and holding it is different than pulling the hammer back and not holding it? IOW... with your booger hook nowhere near the trigger, pull the hammer back and hold it. What happens when you take your thumb off the hammer? Does the cylinder un-over-rotate? If the answer is "yes" then your pistols need some work.

Yeah. That's not the same.

I have a reloading log. In it I log what I load... bullet, powder, OAL, the usual stuff. For handguns, unless there is a problem, there are no notes. For long guns I note accuracy. Once I have arrived at a load that works in a long gun that's pretty much it - that's what I load for it forevermore. For example: The Rem. 700 Classic in .243 Win likes an 87 gr. Hornady BTHP with [can't remember right now] grains of H4831 with an OAL of [can't remember right now]. That's what I load for it. Period. It works. SW Va. groundhogs agree.
