DS 530 WMR & LR reloaders - Telling the difference!

[ralphwolf]

So I run across two reloaders I squirrelled away a couple of years ago.
They're the DS 530's for the Black Widow, one for the LR cylinder and another for the mag cylinder.

BUT I can't tell one from the other. Anyone clue me in on the difference between them ?

Both of them work tolerably well with both rounds.

Thanks

The mag loader will be ever so slightly larger than the LR one. Of course, manufacturing tolerances may use up the slight differences. There may be an "M" on one, perhaps an "L" on the other. If you figure it out, let us know.

The early loaders had a circle cut on the top for the Magnum because I didn't have a way to label them, now they are CNC marked DS-530-MAGNUM,DS-530-LR and DS-484-SLR. The cavity where the cartridge rim goes is slightly larger for the Magnum.







I would have preferred to use the laser like I do on the loading box but the shaft sticks up too high for the laser to work.


The laser focus point on this particular model is about 0.100" from the base of the laser unit.
