Just got the Governor a couple days ago. Realized right away that there must me a better way to unload casings and install new reloaded bullets into the moon clips. Out of neccesity, a common pocket screwdriver, preferably one of those Christmas gifts from the Mac or Snap on dealer, has done the trick. Am able to unload and load 10 clips in about 15 minutes.
Most of you are already familiar with this process I'm sure, but I'll give you the skinny on how I got it done.
Holding the moon clip straight up with your left hand index finger, and casings pointed out to the right, place the screwdriver flat against the clip, while prying up the intended casing. Move in a clockwise direction removing 5 casings. Put the clip aside with one casing left in each.
Now take a small pair of utility pliers and place it though the hole your finger was in. Put the handle of the screwdriver in the casing and pull out the remaining case.
To Reload, hold the empty clip upright, again with your left hand index finger and roll a fresh cartridge in the empty slot until all 6 are filled. finished.
