Nice job and good photos. Simple device that would not cost much. Perhaps the bolt could be welded to a metal plate where only one wrench would be needed to squeeze the balls down? And with a vertical cylinder then the powder would not fall out. Fill three and squeeze in the balls and fill three more. I just ordered a spare cylinder for my 1858 Remington so I may have to try this device.

Thanks for sharing.
