How many of y'all use a cylinder loading tool for your revolvers? Are they worth the extra investment?
I have several pietta colts in 44 all with extra cylinders and just use my brass frame revolver as a loading tool. I shoot paper cartridges and can load the cylinders quickly using that method.
 
The issue with most of them is the open flop nature of the ram.

In a gun its contained and directed. The one shown is a better answer.

That said, the revolver acts as a base and you get better leverage out of the in pistol system.

I thought about buying one but in the end its, ok, put it in the gun, ram em home and its a done deal and one piece less of equipment (and I carry far too much - but its all considered and suit what I want to do.

I use one I made regularly when I compete. Works really well.
The removable block is to adjust seating depth for different cylinders and calibers.
There is no need for an adjustable base pin seat with balls as the cylinders will self center and not tip when pressing them into the individual chambers.
The seating spud is brass and has a heavy chamfer on it's face to facilitate chamber center.

Well......

I have one that works just fine, I find it easier to use than the loading lever on the 1851 and keeps the stress off the guns components.
Me too! It helps if you chamfer your cylinder throats too.
I even have this Quick Six loader from RMC Ox-Yoke. It works very well too.

I would contact Powder Inc about that break. They might replace that broken part. I have the older style I have had for years. Never a problem. They changed that part however and it looks like it is cast now. Weaker? I don’t know, but I would talk to them about it for sure.

I put a three star review on it on powderinc that they refuse to post.
Turned me off on them as a company not the press so much as not posting a slightly negative review.
Dang that would bother me too.looks like they would take the review by a customer even if it was a little negative. Dang. Tgen maybe they could come up with something better maybe a new and improved version.
