Question
 
I like to carry speed loaders (yeah like that's a good name for them) when ML hunting on the off chance I would ever need a second shot!!!
Problem is I can't find any for my .58. I can carry the premeasured powder in a tube. I am contemplating making one of those loading boards that hold a patched ball. Nothing big, like maybe 3 balls and a lanyard hole for around the neck.
How big would I make the hole to securely hold a .575" ball with a .020" patch without damaging the patch? The total diameter of that combo is .615". I'm thinking 9/16" would be too tight and 5/8" is too loose and I ain't never seen a 19/32" bit. Should I use a 9/16" and sand it to fit? Inquiring minds want to know.

They do have drill bit sizes in between 9/16 and 5/8. Sears has a set I bought some time ago.

Maybe stick one of these in your pocket, or hang around your neck/..... dunno.

What about actual .58 speed loaders? I see them on ebay often.

They are still around here and there, but they don't actually make em anymore. Butler Creek quit making speedloaders a while back unfortunately. Snatch you some up, you should be good to go! :happy0001:
