.177 Pellet Seater Tool

[flagger]

One original Beeman and two I made. The end opposite the ball has a set screw so you can set pellets and slugs to a desired depth

What would be the dimensions of the end ball for a .177 pellet?

.25 diameter ball for .177 and .22 The larger one is for a 25 cal, that one is .315 diameter. 4x40 aluminum set screws in opposite end. Set screws are leftover rc car stuff.

That's what I use! Works very good.

All you need is a dowel and a pencil sharpener. Fwiw you'll very likely loose velocity seating pellets into bore past the leede.

@flagger the ball is 20mm
Great for rifles.

I’d need 9mm or less width for the HW45.

Since the old school ones aren’t available. I may try a plastic L shaped one.

I wore mine out seating ammo in an AirForce gun.

Can you tell me if you use a .177 pellet seater tool? Not looking for a pellet pen type loader, just a pellet seating tool.
If you have one, did you make if yourself?
How did you make it?
If so, can you please post some pictures of it.

If you purchased one, could you please post some pictures and comment on how you like it.
Thanks

Thanks to all that responded, a lot of very good ideas here!
