loader handle?

[japlume]

I was about to set up my loader and was thinking it would be cool to take that black ball off the handle and put a cooler handle on it. I have been looking online for for the thread size and all i could find was 5/8-18. when looking on ebay at gear shifts all the measurements are in millimeters. i couldn't find a conversion. do you guys have any tips or ideas??
there was a bunch cool gear shift knob on ebay hoping i can figure out how to switch the boring black ball out

if the hole is smaller for gear shifters then you could drill it larger and get a tap to thread it onto your existing handle.

Metric threads are different than Imperial and none will match.

Very correct, at one time I was going to change mine to billiard balls, then saw everyone else was doing it.

I'm going to make some from antlers.

I like this idea! Might just try that. The stupid wooden ball on my Lee keeps coming off and this has been on my mind.

One of these would be cool... You'll feel like you're pouring a pint each time. Thread size on beer tap handles I believe are 3/8-16.

I buffed a .50 cal casing filed it with epoxy
And it looks pretty good and works nice too

good idea, it would also make a good roller handle too me thinks. Actually it might be a bit on the small side, something bigger like a 20mm might be better.
