Older thread I know... I have an original Winchester loading tool to go with my 1873 rifles in 38 w.c.f. (38-40). I’ve used it to load bp cartridges and yes it works. I’ve used it several times for educational demonstrations. For the demonstrations I have everything in my saddle bag. Not sure if it’s how it was done but the powder is in a brass flask. It keeps a long time.
