That is a nifty thingie for the 650. But, I don't understand the problem?? I just stick funnel in the powder jug, disconnect the actuator rod, pull the locator pins for the Tool Head, tip the whole shebang upside down and dump the powder. Reverse. takes less time to do than to type this and requires no tools atall.

Yessiree Bob (Who's Bob??). Along with Warden Callaway, I was loading 10Ga BPI 1044 10Ga wads in my 12Ga brass hulls. Worked perfectly, except I had to trim the petals down to get to a One Ounce pay load. I did not use over-powder cards or seals. I have now switched to BPI "Spitfire" 12Ga wads for a One Ounce pay load.
I would suspect, if you went to 16Ga Plastic wads you would not need an extra over-powder wad or seal. I'd also suggest you opt for a One Ounce or 7/8 Ounce pay load.
I also load with 3F APP and you might well want to give APP a try

No. I have actually never seen that.

Yes I have. The results were, in a word, Gruesome. The chamfer did make seating the ball much easier. The down side, was the chamfer resulted in a large increase in fouling. A very large increase in fouling. Most notably fouling the Arbor. I don't see it as a real good idea. Shaving a nice ring of lead also lets one know you have sealed the chamber to inhibit Chain Fire.
Just went back and finished the Video. I tend to be annoyed when a "Hack" figures out how to post a U-Boob vid. Not only confused with his terminology, but I'd have to point out Cap Gun chambers don't have "Throats." Chamfering the chamber mouth does nothing for accuracy, good or bad. It does increase fouling. Before anyone gets excited, in my humble (not) opine, the Birch Wood Casey bluing pen is less than useless.
'Most forgot. For Pietta Cap Guns, a .451 or 452 Ball. For Uberti, a .454 Ball. For Ruger, a .457 Ball

Running Round Nose bullets thru a tubular magazine is a NO NO. There are those who say they do it with "no problem" only because they have been lucky. A round nose up against the primer is BAD JOSS. 105Gr Truncated Cone or 125Gr Truncated Cone are the "GO-TO" bullets for most shooters of 38 Special toggle Link Rifles. Crimped in the crimp groove, they run like grain thru a Goose.

PLUS ONE for THE Prairie Dawg.
Additionally, Swaged Ball doesn't have a sprue so there is no "orientation." Also, shaving that ring of lead has the ball fitting tightly in the chamber, serving to prevent "Chain Fire."

Charlie,
"NORMAL" is a setting on a Clothes Dryer. The words "Normal" and "Gun" do not belong in the same sentence
Beyond that, I always look for .002 - .005. Depending on Make, Model, Manufacture, Age, Use, Etc., and whether or not ya hold yer tongue just right.

There is one on indoor display at the Air Force Museum, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. Unfortunately, to fit it into the display building, two 20 foot "plugs" were removed form the fuselage. 20 Ft in front of the wing and 20 Ft behind the wing. When I visited some years ago, the Guide Dude didn't believe me when I told him the airplane was 40 feet "short." He ran off and then found me 15 minutes later to say I was correct. He was some amazed. 40 feet short and it's still HUGE.

Shotgun Boogie offers a real spiffy plug for the Lever Lock Hole.

I have had/used "Contour" cut or "Curved" gun belts for years and years. I find them to be much Much more comfortable for a long day or days of CAS than any straight belt. Generally for "women" be is only because the guys haven't tried a contour gun belt.

Well, I try real hard not to drop mine. I do get annoyed when some Ham Hock steps on one. Other than that, I have not had to "re-size" mine in 8 0r 9 seasons of use. Unless someone steps on one. I've been shooting them in 4 different doubles with no problem at all. If needed, I do have the RCBS Shell Holder and Die set. I use the RCBS die primarily for de-priming and re-priming.

Actually, "Sniper" made a perfect soft landing. Then fell over and rolled down slope. OOPS

PLUS ONE FOR Savvy Jack.
The current industry standard for .44 Barrels is .429. Ruger is famous or infamous for undersized Cylinder Throats. Both sets of cylinders should have the throats reamed to a correct 429/430. It is not uncommon to see Ruger cylinders with throats down to .425.

I haven't seen any shortage of powder over the last couple of years. Not at All. Of course, I shoot APP and have never run short. Try It - Yule like it!!

Rossi Ejector Issue

This is what I use to do for a living. The slot in the extractor is slightly miss-cut and is just a couple of thou narrow. You will still need the DVD showing you how to disassemble and reassemble the action. Remove the Bolt and remove the extractor. With two minutes with a small (jewelers ) file, you can open the slot just enough. Get the "Spring Kit" that tunes the rifle, and while you have it apart you can do a simple "action job" and be amazed by how fast and smooth a '92 can run. You're also going to "tune" the Extractor just a smidge and tune the Lever Latch.
Watch the DVD all the way thru. Then watch it again. Then watch it again. Then "just follow the instructions"
