Frequently Asked Questions

How do you load a Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend without moon clips?

To load the Taurus Raging Hunter .350 Legend without moon clips, you must single-load each round individually into the cylinder chambers. This method is functional but makes unloading spent brass more difficult, often requiring tools to pry them out.

Moon clips allow for faster and more efficient loading and unloading of all six rounds simultaneously. They also ensure proper headspace for rimless cartridges like the .350 Legend, facilitating reliable ejection of spent brass.

How can I prevent bending my moon clips when loading or unloading?

To prevent bending moon clips, handle them carefully and avoid excessive force. When removing rounds, especially spent brass, use a dedicated moon clip tool (demooner) designed for this purpose. This tool minimizes the risk of damage.

What is a moon clip tool and why is it recommended?

A moon clip tool, also known as a demooner or brass remover, is a specialized device that helps safely and efficiently remove cartridges from moon clips. It's recommended because it prevents damage to the clips, which can be expensive, and makes the unloading process much easier.
