Hi guys,
I own a Powderinc cylinder loader and as it has been harder to load a cylinder with my aging good hand, I went to my local hardware store and bought a short length 3/8-16 threaded rod and a 3/8-16 female-female coupling to lengthened the 3/8-16 threaded arm on the loader. I added a short length of shrink tubing over the threaded rod. This made a big, big difference for ease of loading a cylinder by increasing the moment arm length for the plunger. When I go to the range, I simply screw on the arm extension. Below is a snap shot of my loader. The Powderinc loader has been made for years and well known with black powder revolver shooters. For you new comers to BP revolver shooting, this is an excellent loader that can be purchased at the website https://powderinc.com/ Two different style loaders are available.
