Another good reloading thingy is the "Lazy Git" loading press.
Although it is a press for removed cylinder.
Looks good.
I've just ordered one form Desg
I sometimes use a stand that came with Uberti Cattleman/Kranks.
It's cheap but sturdy,using 777 with a wad made from 3mm thick cork.
The wads get lubed with wonderlube in a baggie & melted in with a hair drier.
Light load 21 equiv? but pressed down firmly gives by far the most accurate results.
Also found only CCI magnum 11 have enough go to set 777 off quick enough.
1" groups at 25yrds are possible with .457 RB.
Lee .456 conicals group a little higher.
The above probably doesn't apply to outdoor/BP purists.
The "firm" pressure part is not measured but at least it stops creep with more assertive loads and conicals.

That's what I will be shooting 21g I will try the magnums.

The actual weight of 777 that I have marked as 21 grn is 15.1 grn mass on my cheap jewellers scales.
Given the - 15% advice this would be more like 24grn of BP maybe.
Sadly I like the smell and bright flash of 777 so don't get drawn into the mass vs volume vs given energy debate.
I'm Just happy to achieve 1" groups on a good day.
