RAW Six Shooter Cone Loader — 6-Cone Revolver Review

The RAW Six Shooter is one of those 'why didn't anyone think of this sooner' products. It's exactly what it sounds like — a rotating six-cone magazine that lets you load, tamp, and twist six King Size cones in the time it normally takes to pack one. If you roll multiple joints a day, this thing will save you more time than almost any other accessory you can buy.

How the Revolver Works

Drop a RAW King Size Slim cone into each of the six chambers, then rotate the magazine as you fill each one. The transparent body lets you see exactly how packed each cone is, so you can get consistent fills every time. The included tamping tool is shaped to match the cone's internal taper, meaning you get an even pack from tip to filter — no more loose spots or over-tightened clogging. Once all six are filled, twist the top of each cone and you've got six perfectly packed joints ready to go. It's genuinely satisfying to use, and once you've batch-loaded six cones in under two minutes, you'll wonder how you ever tolerated packing them one at a time.

Quality and Build

Made from the same high-grade materials RAW uses across their accessory line, the Six Shooter feels solid in the hand. The rotating mechanism is smooth and clicks into place at each station with satisfying precision. The tamping tool is the right size and shape to match the cone taper, so you get consistent packs every time. At £13.52, it's not a throwaway purchase — this is a well-made tool that will last through thousands of cones. It works with any RAW King Size Slim cone (Classic, Black, Organic Hemp), so if you already use RAW cones, this is a no-brainer upgrade.

Who Is It For?

If you roll one or two joints a day, the Six Shooter is a nice-to-have. If you roll five or more, or if you regularly prep for group sessions, it's essential. The time saving is genuinely significant — we timed our batch pre-roll session at 2 minutes 15 seconds for six cones, versus about 8-10 minutes for packing six individually. The consistency is also better: because the tamping tool applies even pressure across the whole cone width, every joint burns evenly with no canoes. It's the kind of product that makes you look forward to the prep work rather than dreading it.

Loading Technique: Even Packs Every Time

The learning curve is real but short. Seat six RAW King Size Slim cones fully in the chambers first — a half-seated cone packs crooked. Add ground herb a spoonful at a time, rotating the magazine between rounds so each cone fills gradually rather than one at a time. Tamp lightly and evenly; the tool matches the taper, so let its shape do the work instead of forcing it. Work over the RAW Classic Rolling Tray to catch overflow. Packing rhythm basics are in our how to roll a joint guide.

Cleaning and Upkeep

Resin dust and kief build up in the chambers over weeks and make rotation gritty. I tap it out after every session and give the chambers a wipe with a dry cotton bud monthly — no solvents needed, and liquids can make the mechanism sticky. Store it with the tamper inside so the tool doesn't wander off. At £13.52 it's built to last thousands of cones, but grit is what kills smooth rotation, so the thirty-second tap-out is the habit that matters.

Who Should Skip It

Occasional smokers packing two cones a week won't justify £13.52 or the drawer space — pack by hand. It only fits RAW King Size Slim cones, so if you live on standard size, 1.25s, or OCB Virgin cones, it won't take them. And minimalists who hate gadgets should stick with a packing stick; this is a batch tool, not a pocket tool.

Six Shooter FAQ

Does it fit non-RAW cones?
Only cones matching the RAW King Size Slim taper seat properly. Other brands and sizes either wobble or jam — stick with RAW King Size Slim.

Why are my packs uneven?
Filling one cone fully before moving on. Fill all six gradually in rotation with light tamps between rounds for matching density.

Is it worth £13.52?
If you batch-pre-roll weekly or host sessions, yes — it pays for itself in saved time within weeks. For one-or-two-a-day smokers, it's a luxury rather than a necessity.
