Title: Speed loaders
Post by: CamoDup on July 27, 2012, 05:42:36 PM: I have been looking to buy a "speed loader". Most of the speed loaders I see are made for pellets. I am planning on using loose powder. Can I use loose powder in these? What are some of your opinions? I have been looking at buying the RMC EC-View Magnum Speed Shells. Anyone use these? Thanks!

The T/C speed loaders come open in my pocket from time to time and it is easy to spill some powder when you are pouring it into the barrel. They are better than anything else out there that I have found so far but I still think there is room for improvement. :twocents:

Post by: BigGoonTuna on August 01, 2012, 08:31:01 AM: i bought a pack of traditions loaders. can't say i'd recommend them. they don't seem to have a long enough area to hold a saboted bullet so it tends to come apart, and too flimsy to start one in the barrel of my gun.

i'll have to give the TC loaders a try.
