So I made this pellet seating tool which makes the job very easy, I did make a smaller device but when loading a tight pellet like Hobbys it was difficult, so this is the replacement, the MK 2 pellet seating tool.

Nothing says "loaded" like needing a press to do it properly- _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Is it Steel or Alu? It kind of reminds me of a Bullet press used to press bullets into an already fired shell case after adding the gunpowder, Is this what gave you the idea to make it? Definitely a good idea if you've got arthritis Stevie _________________ "Who Dares Wins" - SAS 22nd Regiment Hereford.   Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2007 4:57 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Nice one 23ib0d0n, this method would be less messy. It's aluminium Stevie, and I think the idea came from the opening credits of Monty Pythons Flying Circus ( The big foot )   Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2007 5:05 pm StevieLaner7777 Moderator Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 1060 Location: Herefordshire, UK Hey Al I thought it might have been Alu as it has that bright sheen that only comes with most types of it, Unlike steel that has a more solid looking tinted shine, If that makes any sense! I don't think I've seen that Monty python film, But maybe I should get round to seeing it.
