Why will bullets not lock into speed loader? have 357 for Taurus Model 66 7 shot purchased 2 loaders neither one will lock bullets in HKS 587

My unit is working fine I just put the bullets in and then twist the button. I have used this with 38 specials but I have not tried 357 so I will test and see with 357 rounds.

depends on the ammunition manufacturer...some brass/aluminum vary slightly so that makes for a very tight fit in the speed loader...loader will loosen up with usage..also there are other brands of speedloaders

I am sorry you are having issues with your reloader. I pulled mine out to check them and they both work just fine. I did notice that if a cartridge is not seated flat and is sitting at an angle in the loader it will sometimes not want to lock, so I just jiggle the loader a little and turn the knob as I am doing this and it locks right up. I don't know what else for you to try. I hope this helps.

Several of mine were very tight at first. After a little coaxing they work very well. Hope this helps.

If your bullets won't stay in the speed loader, after you worked the knob a few times, then the speed loader is defective. I just checked my HKS 587 speed loaders and they will lock the bullets in place. I'd call the company who made the speed loaders and ask for two replacements.

When you put the rounds in the loader, they all need to lean to the center of the loader and they will then snap into place when you twist the locking mechanism.

You're speed loaders will work no problem at all I have them on my S&W; mod.586 and mod.64

No. But this might be helpful anyway. I shoot a Taurus PT111 in 9mm. I THINK the HKS was listed FOR this weapon, but at any rate, this is the one I bought. When it arrived, I found out real quickly that the finger cushin on the bottom of the magazine would not allow the steps in the HKS to engage my magazine and hold it in place. What I did was hot glue a piece of a carpenters pencil into the bottom of the loader. It took a few tries to get the height correct, but now I sick the mag in, rest it on the pencil and load away. This loader works very well, too.

I believe you want an HKS MK3-A speedloader. That one is for Colts, the 586-A is primarily for S&W;'s

I have only used on a Thompson Contender pistol with 357 Mag, 10MM and 45 Super barrels. The one on the 10MM seemed to have a problem by the internal mirror would come loose. I'd suggest you contact BSA and other Red-Dot makers and get feed back. From what I heard air guns have different dynamics than rifles & pistols and you may have unknown dynamics with a bow. As a word of warning, I had problems with a replacement from BSA and had to return a new replacement, rec'd an incomplete replacement and ended up having to pay shipping twice.

Yes, I was able to use a speed loader on my Model 66, which is the same K frame. Same size gun that is.

Grips are excellent for the gun, but I believe they would not allow the speed loader to line up straight. I have never tried a speed loader so my positive.

It should work. I noticed a 1/4- 1/3reduction in recoil firing standard 9mm. since the guide rod is skinnier the sprig wiggles around a bit. So when your racking the slide the spring will bump the underside of the locking block. I havent had any problems with it. but Ive only put about 150 rounds through my Taurus pt92

I have the 462 and I was thinking the same thing. i am thinking the 6 shot snubs are probably K Frame, I do think it's weird I cannot find a place on line that just flat out states K FRAME for sure. I wish I had a sw 357 K here to compare it with. Even the Taurus Rossi site doesn't say for sure.

I'd try the HKS 10, which is rated for several other Rossi models so more likely to be a perfect fit for yours. The differences between the HKS 586 and 10 models are tiny, and in my experience either model works ok with all my six shot revolvers. BTW, I suspect your Rossi is a 462 (not 642)?

I'm not sure about your revolver but it didn't work with my model 36 ( 1995 ). The position of the cylinder release prevented me from lining up the speed loader/bullets with the cylinder.

David: On my gun, the grips will clear the HKS speed loader. I have the "skinny" cylinder latch, which is current production. Might be a problem on older J-frame guns.

The Cd-2 fits the K Frame HKS fairly snugly, but The L Frame is not much larger in its body. The outside dimension of the L Frame HKS Loader is the same regardless of it being for the older L Frame 6 shot .357 or the newer style 7 shot .357. If you think about it, all L Frame have the same diameter cylinder. I would try one, as I would prefer it to be a snug fit in any case.

Sorry I cannot answer your question as I do not own a 357 SIG.to test. They fit just like a live round and the action has to lock, so I would assume if you gun is functioning properly the action should not lock with the wrong round chambered.

not 100 % sure about th Rossi because I've never tried one....but it does work for the Taurus 6 shot 357 Magnum. I actually like to use it for my 38 detective colt more. The Taurus is also a large 6 inch barrel and has a tendency to be awkward to handle. top heavy and nods forward. Some guy's just think i'm being a mite too careful. But, tha's at the shooting range. They even get pissed off you drop shells on the floor or shoot next to them with a revolver. Outback plinking,if you have that luxury wud be better. Works fine for me tho. lrf

I agree with "J". This speed-loader won't handle the .30 carbine round. I don't know where you can find one that will.
