    Potter Complete Loading Tool

    I found what according to Phil Sharpes book is a Potter Complete Loading Tool as pictured on page 212 of his handloading book. Any idea what the original color was? This is a dark gray. Found at a garage sale last week.

    You might check in over on the ARTCA Forum. A couple of guys over there are Potter aficionados.

    I did a search on "Potter Complete Loading Tool" and got Harry Potter stuff. Can some post a description and photo for those of us who don't know what this is?

    Sorry I’m a computertard. I can’t figure out how to post pics. I used to do it with ease on Tapatalk, but they complicated the process and I can’t post pics any longer.

    To answer the original question, all of my Potters are dark gray.

    I have a Potter that is missing the handle. Would someone be able to measure theirs for me? Overall length and length of exposed steel. I have the 1/2 inch rod, just need to locate an approximate replacement for the wood "file handle" Thanks!!
