1858 Cylinder loading stand?

[hunter64]

Finally had some time to go out to the range yesterday, nice and warm, no wind and no one else there. I shot the 1858 Remington for a couple of hours and had a great time. By the end the palm of my hand was red from loading the cylinder with the loading lever. I think I will buy one of those cylinder loading stands and save my hand. I have looked on a few websites and they range from 20 to 50 dollars. Is there a brand/style that I should avoid and where did you buy yours at?

Avoid this one:

Buy this one:

The top one has no adjustment for cylinder size (diameter or height) or caliber; the bottom one comes with different jags for different calibers and is fully adjustable to fit any cylinder.

Amen to the above info... The top one is poorly made and wobbles when ya use it..:barf:

Thanks for the info, I will get the bottom one, for the extra cash it certainly looks a lot sturdier.

I have one like the top one. I only load 44 cal so don't need extra bits. Very easy to take to the range and works like a champ. If you need to reload several calibers, then the bottom one would be worth it.

The one on the buttom is very hard to get backordered
