Needed: mechanical breech seater for original 1885

Hi all. Newbie here. I have a .33-47 on a 1917 Win high wall action. I fashioned a breech seater from a fire formed .32-40 brass and 5/16" brass rod. I can get it to breech seat the NOE tapered bullets I'm casting (25:1), but only by tapping fairly hard on the seater with a dowel and mallet. The bullets are showing accuracy promise with 15.0 grains of IMR 4227, so I think I'm going to be happy with them. Where can I get a mechanical breech seater so I can put the mallet away?

BPjack here makes nice ones.i use one of his on my HW 33-47. It was originally at 32-40 seater but it was very easy with his system just to drill out one of the primer pockets from a fireformed case out of my rifle.

Willis (singleshot) Gregory made the one for my high wall and it works very well.  I don’t know whether he is still making them, but it’s worth a PM.  He’s still active on this forum.
