Valuable SML Accessory

[ET]

For me one of my best accessories to have is something to assist with tighter fitting loads for the SML. In my case I put together a T handle which allows 2-handed loading operation. The benefits of a tighter load are:
- Better powder ignition
- Keeping the bullet load more centered to the bore
- With better ignition a better powder burn response

I’m not saying this has to be restricted to a T handle. Any assist that distributes the loading force to a greater area than say 3/8” will do. For me it took a while to learn certain lessons to gain benefit with my 50-SML and I’m still learning after all this time. Will I ever graduate, who knows, chuckle.

A golf ball with a 1/2" hole drilled halfway through it works wonders for the palm!

I saw this older post and thought I would make a suggestion. An inexpensive "palm saver" can be made from a cheap ($1.59) round or oval drawer pull from Lowes. They have 8-32 threads but you can easily re-tap it to 10-32 by hand with a tap. Run in a long threaded 10-32 screw tight then cut off at the right length and trim the cutoff end. Screw it on when you need it, they really work well. I've made several that way and keep one in my possibles bag and one on my range rod. RC

Guys all alternative suggestions are welcome. Thanks for contributing.
