If there's anything those of us who own Beeman P-17's, and/or steel breeched Crosman 1377 / 1322 or the Winchester 1977XS or Daisy 880 or the TX200 know, its that the chambers of those airguns can be a PITA to load. We all 'roll the pellet in', right? And, sometimes have the pellet end up backwards, (which in the steel breeched Crosmans will cause a jam).
What to do to solve this dilemma? Use curved cross action tweezers to load the pellet.
These will all work great.
This is what I have.

They're just the thing for loading pellets in the small chamber of my Winnie 1977XS and a godsend for Beeman P-17's &/or steel breeched, Crosman 1377 / 1322's.
This one below looks like it would work fine too.. A tad more inexpensive too than the cross action tweezers I got from Amazon.

These will also do the trick. Cheaper too.

One thing I also did that you guys might want to do is to make a scabbard for the tweezers to hold them and your pellets to the stock of your rifles..
I had this belt I had bought at Dollar General. Turned out it was made from vinyl rather than leather. Stretched big time when I wore it. So to get my moneys worth I've been cutting 8 inches off, then cut that in half and then use duct tape to make a scabbard for Air Venturi pellet pens. The scabbard also holds the cross action tweezers snugly. Duct tape holds it on the stock (which kinda looks tacky … brown or black spray paint would make it blend in better). I don't really care about tacky myself. Utility value is more important to me.
