regor Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Pardon if this is a really stupid question, but I just bought my first 929 to start dabbling in revolver and it came with a bunch of Revolver Supply moon clips with the octagonal center hole. Do these work fine with the TKC loading tool's round mandrel or do I need to get a different loading tool to work with them? I've searched here and google but haven't found an answer to this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
625 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I would purchase a BMT Mooner. It will make life a lot easier. Edited March 26, 2021 by 625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysrracer Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Get .35 TK moon clips. They work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The BK loader is case sensitive. Get Winchester cases and .35 moons from Revolver Supply Co. Also get yourself a large number of moons. I have enough loaded that I don't have to screw with them during a match. I use boxes from the Walmart fishing department to keep the moons separated.

regor Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I ended up buying the TKC loader from DAA since they had it for a good price when I was buying my new belt setup. To answer my original question in more detail in case someone else stumbles upon this in the future: yes, the TKC loader works with the Revolver supply octagonal center moonclips, but the mandrel in the center doesn't hold it at the right height so you need to manually position the moon when loading the first cartridge so it is high enough to align the moon with the extractor groove. After 1-2 cartridges are loaded they keep everything at the right height for loading the rest. Edited April 14, 2021 by regor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something that you can make at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I just picked up some TK 357 moon clips that had round center hole, their old version was an octagon cut out. Problem is the new round ones don't work well with my BMT! They can be made to work with some manual manipulation. But then they aren't near as tight as the HearthCo's and some older TK's, .035 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ysrracer Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've never had good luck with the moon clips that have an octagonal hole in the center. For me, the ones with the round hole work better. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEE Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I tried 3 or 4 different clips and settled on the ez moon clip polymer. That’s all I run now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevoRon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Revolver Supply moons work fine with TL loader. Just get the correct size arbor/mandrel from George at Revolver Supply to put on the TK tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
