Before you load your pocket Remington... Operate the loading lever to it's full cycle and pay close attention to how far it travels! (or doesn't travel) You will see that at it's full range of motion the lever will not press a ball in much past the cylinder face.
Since the little guys are so lacking in powder capacity, it is easy to think you are compressing powder, when in fact, you have reached the end of the levers' travel.
The metal around the loading lever screw is paper thin and it is VERY easy to blow out the hole and break your lever right off. I hope this post will save someone from a very expensive replacement lever... Don't ask how I know.
