I've always wondered if these were worth the reasoning of taking up space in a bug out bag? Has anyone had experience with one? Is there anything besides a small hammer I might need? I know reloading with one would be slower than pond water but in a SHTF scenario I figure I'd have time.

I used to use one a long time ago and used it for 270. No problems in loading with it. Also used to have the 410 shotshell loader and it worked fine too. Pretty much remembered needing nothing besides a hammer like you thought.

I carry one of these in my bug out bag.

I have one of those. If I?m going out of town for work for a few days I?ll bring it and process brass in my hotel room in the evenings.

I loaded hundreds of rounds of 30-30 and 45-70 with those back in the day. Slow but capable of producing decent ammo. We'd load 'em up on the tailgate of the pickup at the quarry where we were shooting.

Not exactly worth the space weight and cost for a bug out bag but maybe and INCH bag.

Thanks everyone for he information. I guess it's worth buying a set and getting familiar with the system ha ha
