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.
The circle cutter punch tears the paper haf to modify and sharpen it to make er work other than that it all works great and the powder load is almost perfect
The Mandrel was broken in the package when l received the basic kit, looks like the 3d print didn’t take causing a weak spot. I glued it back together with Gorilla Glue super glue and so far it is holding use it to load 20 cartridges so far.
Have kit for 54 sharps, like it. Haven't tried this one yet. They are handy and easy to use
Ordered the delux Ruger old army kit, and the four (4) extra 2-oz bullet lubes were missing? Also got the .50-inline rifle kit and shotgun kit in the same order
I do need one of your kit boxes. Not enough room for the .50 cal stuff. Your kits are always high quality. Thanks.
I am happy with the tool. But it took longer to receive the tool than I thought it should have.
This is exactly what I was looking for relating to pan tubing muzzleloader bullets. I wasn't having good success just trying to push bullets out of the wax. This device cuts them out clean and makes the process much faster!
great kit comes complete with everything you need to make paper cartridges for cap and ball revolvers. I've made several .31 and .44 envelopes just waiting on Eras gone to get back from vacation to get the molds for the bullets. works really well with nitrated coffee filter paper.
This is a great little item. Just carry it to the range and you are ready to shoot.
I’ve rolled around fifty cartridges. Works great
Former diameter works fine with round ball, not so much with conical. Mouth needs to be a bit larger while using Elements rolling papers. They are tender and a miss try with bullet insertion usually results in folded edge and the making of another cartridge. Alignment has to be perfect. Haven’t tried o-ring at top of mandrel or tape yet, which should work. Funnel and dipper are well suited match for kit. Have 36 and 44 kits and issues are bout same.

I ordered the .36 and Ruger Old Army Basic Kits. I received the .36 kit. I did not receive the Ruger Old Army Basic Kit. I have not heard anything back from the e-mail I submitted to Cartridge Kits on their web site. The .36 basic kit deserves better but one star for this screw up.
