Just a something to be aware of!!>>> the little loading lever is quite delicate! And it will only push the ball "barely flush" with the cylinder before it stops...Even if there's no ball under it! This is as far as it will go. DO NOT!!!! push it further or it will break the lever.

This is not a big deal because after learning this the hard way...I have had zero problems with my second one after "Years of use. I works just fine, just be careful as it is very small and easy to miss-aline the rammer with the chamber mouths too...just be aware of this or you will break your lever
