Revolver cylinder loading stand

[Blackpowderart]

Who makes the best revolver cylinder loading stand? Robust and not flimsy, something that will last and work with remington and colt style guns? Thanks

They both have the same press.
I use one as well and in order for the wife to ne able to use it I had to lengthen the arm and use a bigger base to keep it from flipping.
Other then that it works great.

I bought a cheap on on Amazon, and so far so good. As long as your lead is really soft, I think it’ll last quite a while.

I have never used one, but just bought a 1858 snubby off here so I need a press on the way. I'll likely only use it for guns with no or very short ramrods

They are the way to go for sure. Just used mine today a while. Worked great.

I really like using a press myself.

So much easier, and quicker, not to mention less wear and tear. I originally bought a Slix hand and very first ball it left a dent on my loading lever, so went with a press.

Picture would be great for us serious revolver shooters.

I don't have it any longer, my brother borrowed it and never returned it then passed away. I wasn't worried as I hardly ever used it. I made one like Powder Inc sells with a few modifications.

I chose to with the eze loader. I got it strait from the guy that makes them supposedly. Northeast trade co. Haven't got it yet, but it's been around forever so I've sure it will do the job. Thanks everyone

John and the guys over at Northeast are a good bunch of folks. John is a walking encyclopedia. He was pretty sick recently, but back in the shop. Hopefully you'll get it soon and are happy with it.

I made a good one from spare steel around the shop and an old valve spring. You don't need an adjustable cylinder spud on the base if you make a brass self aligning seating spud on the ram.

I bought a cheap traditions and mounted it to a larger block of wood. Its been working for a year and has not broken yet but its not super sturdy.

I made my own from a cheap pipe clamp.

The idea was good but the clamp needed some modifications. The top plate was too big to press directly on the balls. Also, you couldn't see the ball while seating.

I cut away the excess plate, drilled and tapped a hole and added a brass seating jag. I also added a stop collar on the clamp screw so I could control seating depth.

It's easy to use, very consistent and cost about $20.
