I was thinking of this way, A friend took a rubber stopper used in furmest bottle, He hooked it up to long rod, The stopper is set in a finger hole, the top is turned and the stopper tightens up in the hole, With a cross bar on the rod , like a T , 2 people lift the ball up and down in the barrel, Then its released and the ball is seated, I was going to use the ice hooks on the same set up, Maybe just one hook on the long T handle , I wash my barrels, and vent hole after ever shot to were I have water in the powder chamber and have to dry it by hand. Its take more time and I no there is no hot spots in there, Hope this helps, Joe
