I always use a snail/revolver capper on my Colts & clones. You can exert sufficient pressure with one to fully seat the caps, so a push stick is not necessary. They can be used on the Remmies; but you have to expand the opening so the capper will fit. A dremel tool and sanding drum will do the job.
Barring that, a stick capper with two springs works best IMHO.
The buck and roar of a 44 filled with 35-40 grains of fffg is a lot of fun; but for competition purposes - shooting five to seven stages in a day - 24 to 28 grains is all you need to hit the targets. It's somewhat cheaper that way & won't tire you out.
