I can't remember off hand the name of the company that sells these tools. A guy at the Portland Oregon gun show used to sell them. Basically the tool is a pair of pliers with a pin that just fits the inside diameter of the case. When you squeeze the pliers it removes the previous firing pin dent. He used strike anywhere matches, but not the standard kind. The survival matches that are three or four inches long. You very gently scrape the match material off the stick. The survival matches have about 20 times the amount match material as a standard kind do. You make a paste out of that material with a few drops of water. You put one drop of this paste in the bottom of each case. Lightly tap( Not slam ) the case to get the priming compound evenly spread in the bottom of the case. Allowed to dry. You then fill the case to the top with FFF or FFFF black powder. Then pressed a lead round ball into the case. I'm not sure what he used to press the ball into the case.
The salesman that sold these tools shot them out of a 22 long rifle black powder revolver.
It wouldn't be hard to make one of these tools out of a pair of pliers and a bolt.
