Received kit with a damaged powder measure. No answers from the seller when contacted. Live and learn about dealers.
Creating paper cartridges using round balls is very 'fiddly' and not easy. I can see using conicals would be better,
but I don't like casing or shooting them. Too early to tell if I can get the round ball cartridges to work for me. Ask me again in a year.
Kit came in with all shown. The Powder Measure was broken and unusable. No response from seller after email.
I did not know it was 3D printed first.
Found the opening was to small for the bullet fit until I sanded it bigger.
Works great after that.
Prepare to have some spare papers but once I got it down I can craft 12 in an hour and a half. Great product, it is plastic not wood but not too disappointed I could have read more.
In my opinion it does not get hot enough. It is not designed for bullet lube temp. It is made to heat your coffee cup. I will go back to the kitchen stove with SPG lube and tuna fish can.
I have filled and emptied this several times since getting it, along with a combo kit. Great at the range or for storing cartridges as I make them. It is big enough that I can leave a spacer between different loads, like full power and target loads.
You sent me 4570 holder instead of a 44 caliber holder. What do I do to get my 44 caliber holder?
Love this kit. Have loaded several hundred .36 and .44 in a few days. Well, thought out punch as well. Smaller than most, so the glue ring is smaller.
Figeting to make cartridges perfect is challenging and hard. It's all new to me so working, balancing wax, and weight will take practice.
This is all new to me, after a little fidgeting everything just starts coming together piece by piece little by little and I'm happy.
Everything was included to be able to make really nice cartridges. Very complete.
Emailed multiple times to correct the shipping address, nobody ever responds, item was sent back.
Perhaps it is me but the diameter of the dowel is greater than the diameter of the barrel of my Diablo. It was easy to make a dozen paper shells but when I attempted to load them the diameter was too large. An attempted to insert a dowel in the barrel failed.
I'm very impressed with the kit .. simple to used .. takes small amount of room in my carry bag and that I like.
The .31 is little, hard to manipulate with fat old fingers. My gun is at the gunsmith, so haven't fired any yet. But I've fired a lot of .36 and some .44L they work great. Much easier to load. A great product!
The little device is quite handy to be used. It is manufactured by 3d-printing; injection molding would be nicer, but it does it's job the way it is. What I like about the cartrides it makes is the minimum amount of paper that is required in order to produce a good and solid cartride, leaving less paper residues inside the revolver compared to alternative cartride making approaches.
Custom made for the larger Parker Hale style 566gr Minnie Ball have only made 50 cartridges to date but it works very well. I would not hesitate to buy again.
It took some practice to roll such.long cartridges. I got two kits. One of them I intend to modify to make round ball loads with a charge of 20 to 40 grains of powder. Something accurate out of the fast twist barrel on my CVA Wolf.
