SliX-Ram Extended Loading Ram for Ruger Old Army Revolvers
Load reduced black powder charges more easily with the SliX-Ram Extended Loading Ram, engineered exclusively for Ruger Old Army revolvers. Manufactured approximately .340 inch longer than the factory loading ram, the SliX-Ram allows round balls to be seated firmly against lighter powder charges without fillers, spacers, or separate loading tools.
The factory Ruger Old Army loading ram was designed around heavier hunting loads. When lighter target or competition charges are used, the standard ram may not reach far enough to seat the ball directly against the powder. The extended SliX-Ram solves that problem while allowing the cylinder to remain installed in the revolver.
Whether you are competing in Cowboy Action Shooting, participating in black powder matches, or developing comfortable target loads, the SliX-Ram promotes faster loading, consistent ball seating, and a simpler loading process.

Important:
The SliX-Ram is engineered exclusively for Ruger Old Army revolvers and is intended for seating round balls over reduced black powder charges. Always follow established loading practices and verify firearm compatibility before installation or use.
How the Extended Ram Helps
Reduced target loads leave more open space inside the chamber than heavier hunting loads. A standard loading ram may stop before the round ball reaches the powder charge.
By extending farther into the chamber, the SliX-Ram allows the ball to be seated firmly and consistently without adding filler material or removing the cylinder for loading.
