It's not absolutely necessary to spend $50 for tools to load and unload moon clips. Thanks to a fellow on You Tube, I was able to fashion this loading/unloading equipment from stuff I had lying around. The moon clip rotates and the aluminum bar gently slides and snaps the cartridge into place. The long piece for removing cases is an old graphite golf club shaft (the You Tube fellow uses copper pipe). Note that the moon clip hangs out over the edge of the wood just enough to allow the golf club shaft to slip over the spent shell and drop down enough to twist the shell out. Works like a charm!
