loading a snail drum
 

is it possible to load a snail drum without the tool?
i can only get one cartridge in and then at quite an angle if i push the cartidge carrier down first i can get 2 in

Nnoonan,

I would not say it is impossible, just damn near.

i can only just load one cartridge the angle seems different to a standard mag??

With the main spring relieved (loading lever locked back) the mose that I've been able to load by hand is 25. It will definately take a loader to get in the last few. I do have a couple of the exact repro loaders available @$450 each. hellerarms@webtv.net
