DIY Speedloader
Re: DIY Speedloader
What a great idea. Should be able to expand it to larger calibers; just need the right diameter flexible tubing.

Wow! Such a simple idea, but very effective. I have just ordered 10 metres of tubing and a handful of end caps. Thank you for posting it!

I have made 5 speed brass reloading tubes for my Henry Big Boy in 45 LC. Work great for loading and unloading. Can reload 10 rds in about 15 seconds or less. Have some photos and how I made them if anyone interested.

For 22 LR, a fast and easy redneck solution is to use drinking straws. You just fold the ends over and you can use tape, a stapler, or even a paper clip.

Re: DIY Speedloader
Because the Henry Big Boy in 45 LC is such a beautiful gun, I would not be caught dead using a straw, pvc or any other redneck loader. To me, presentation is important at the range. When you buy a Henry, and carry it in their case, then it only makes sense to use a brass speed loader. However, I am old (75) and set in my ways when it comes to firearms.

Great point, Mike. Now if you don't mind, will you please pass the grey poupon?CaliforniaMike wrote:Because the Henry Big Boy in 45 LC is such a beautiful gun, I would not be caught dead using a straw, pvc or any other redneck loader.
