Hand held press for seating lead balls in cap and ball cylinders.
Compatible with Uberti / Pietta 1851, 1858, 1860 and 1861 revolver 44 cal cylinders.
Cylinder and 3/8”box end wrench not included.
For use only by responsible persons with full knowledge of safe cap and ball loading.
JB’s Pocket Press is designed to load 3 cylinder chambers at a time.
Integral brass components help protect cylinder from damage.
Inspect cylinder for damage prior to loading, never load with percussion caps on, use only proper size soft lead round balls and manufacturers recommended powder charge. Always seat balls against powder charge. Seal loaded chambers with wads or lube to help prevent chain fires. Do not store loaded cylinders. Always load away from bystanders. Never smoke or load near ignition source or when handling black powder. Never load directly from powder can, flask or horn. Viewing instructional video recommended.
Courtesy wrench included but 3/8” box end wrench recommended. A drop of light oil applied to drive nut and washer will reduce friction. Before applying torque to drive nut be sure seating posts are centered over lead balls. For best results use soft lead balls not larger than .454”diameter. Use dowel through eye of alignment rod for added grip and leverage.
