Tequila Shooter 742 Posted March 17 (edited) Does anyone use one of these at a match to load a '58 Remington? Is it worth the money? Edited March 17 by Tequila Shooter Added Tags Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 72 Posted March 17 Looks like a neat gadget and probably a bit pricey. I have a simple wooden stand that I use when loading my ROA's Also have pre measured tubes with the charges I use. It would be another nice gadget to have but would not want to be taking the cylinders in and out at a match unless there was some issue. That's my 2 cents on the subject.

CC Jack 0 Posted March 18 I like the design element that you don't have to mount it to a table, bench , cart... Just hold it with one hand and tighten with the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yankee, SASS #266 21 Posted March 18 No. It looks awkward and why would take the cylinder out anyway? It is simpler to keep the gun whole and load it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was the good point of a Remy was that it was very easy to take the cylinder out? But, these Remies will be my first C&B guns so maybe it's not as easy as it looks.

J Bird Blue, SASS # 57924 18 Posted March 18 I use one. I use a dipper and funnel to pour power. I can load about as fast as the video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're all pretty simple and faster to load off the gun in my opine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would need to weigh the cost of the press to your loading style. I have learned each cap gun shooter evolves their own rituals and methods. I like to remove my cylinders after each stage to do a quick wipe and lube. Other shooters don't see the need to remove the cylinders. For me the press is quick and efficient. I do not use the a handle extension, so you can save that cost if you purchase one. It does not need to be mounted to work well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
