Can anyone tell me the proper etiquette for revolver shooting? In terms of sequence of charging, wadding, balling, capping, etc. Do you charge all chambers, then wad all chambers, then seat the ball on all chambers, etc., or do you charge, wad, ball, cap each chamber in turn?
Do most fellows remove the cylinder and use a loading press, or load with the loading lever?
Any suggestions for putting, and keeping, the caps on the nipples? I squeeze each cap into an oval shape before putting it on the nipple, to make it fit tighter and prevent it from falling off. But it gets a bit tedious, and my blunt thumbs tend to drop the caps and require a couple of tries to get them on. I'm getting better with practice, but does anyone have a better way?
