Reoad

[Captndan]

Do you remove the cylinder to reload your six shooter?

 

[64Springer]

No.

 

[Eutycus]

I use a press (homemade) to reload mine. I feel using the rammer on a brass frame would be too much strain. Eventually the frame will stretch but why hurry things along.

 

[Phil Coffins]

No, it came with a loading lever.

No, I just open the gate !!!

 

[azmntman]

No but if I had a stand and was into precision target loads I would as it would be much easier to get the components EXACT. I dont have brass framed so not an issue, if I did I would load out of frame as stated above.

Doesn't the powder just fall through the cylinder and out the muzzle?

No, I just open the gate !!!

I'd like to see a C&B revolver with a loading gate........

Yet another winter project I need to complete.

Very nice.

Remove the cylinder if it’s a LeMat or the so called 1873 black powder. Otherwise use the loading lever.

 

[user 48679]

Ok.

Thank you.

That looks like a modern unmentionable frame to me

FWIW, the OP's question was loading the cylinder, not just capping it - so IMO it looks like that gun's cylinder gets loaded, "out of" the frame.

 

[64Springer]

Out.

It has no loading lever.

Well, you posted that you'd like to see a C&B revolver with a loading gate . . . ( no mention of a loading lever). My response was exactly what you asked for. That particular one is Pietta I believe.
Uberti and ASM also produced them. It was made for (but obviously sold here as well) the European customers that wanted a SA that looked like the famous Colt SAA.

I load all my revolver cylinders off the frame. I have arthritis and the on-gun levers suck and hurt. So much easier using a cylinder loader.

 

[45D]

I was wrong. It's an ASM.

Bench loader mostly. Having 8 spare cylinders the pair of revolvers I prefer it's best
