Gun Cart Cap and Ball Revolver Loading

The far right image of the gun cart with umbrella shows the over all design. The addition of the guns in the rack immediately in front of the tool box and the weight of ammo and accessories in the lower box provide balance and stability for the cart.

The tool box is easily removed by opening the snaps on each side.











This is the loading cart open and ready to load cap and ball. The off gun loading tool presses the 147 grain pure lead balls into the cylinder chambers. The cylinder with the brass indicator marks the chamber that will not be loaded. The nipple of this chamber is painted orange. The brass pin on the board keeps the cylinder secure.

The yellow plastic ampules are for premeasured black powder and the .457 pure lead ball seals the ampule until needed.

The white tin holds #10 Remington caps.

The black "L" is the Ruger nipple wrench.

The stick with the leather thong is to push the caps home after setting on the nipples with a nipple holder.


This shows the cart accessory chest
open and the C &B loading tool hinged out of the way. The hinge has a removable pin so the tool can be removed when not needed.

Without accessories on board, the pins at the bottom of the board hold the cylinders for powder charging.









This image shows the tool board in it's raised position for access to the accessory box.

Hope the images help with your gun cart layout for loading C&B at the gun cart. For situation where the loading must be done at the unload table, simply roll the cart next to the table.

Whoops, don't know how to delete the duplicate image.
