100 yard cast load

Wow! This really is a neat gadget. I have more than my share of thumbs (can't even cut two boards the same length) so suspect that I couldn't manage the project. But, it is ingenious and I am envious of both the design capability and the skill to carry it out.
Build a better mousetrap and the world beats a path to your door.
Thanks for sharing this. I'll print out those photos and do some thinking.

Ah, I see, and the stripper appears to be about the right age for us too! More info please? How can I make one of them?

Parashooter are you selling these chargers. It would help with my rapid reloads during the matches. Here's a photo of my "match" rifle. As I remember the Krag was a good shooter but the military sight were hard to work with. One of the problems is finding a rifle with a good barrel. The National Matches were shot here in Jersey at Sea Girt with the Krag. Which still is a National Guard base and State Police Academy.

. . . are you selling these chargers.

No. I am happy to share the concept and trust that anyone with enough skill to shoot a rifle well also has all the mental and manual skills needed to make chargers. The rest is just learning to use simple hand tools.
