I attended the local gun show and all though I have shot and loaded .50 cal rifles in the past, for the first time I picked up a cap and ball revolver .36 Navy. Still looking for powder and shot, (can't sell powder at the show). My question is the loading lever, when swung through its arc it will only travel to the half way point or at 90 degrees down from the line of the barrel. The ram engages the hole but does not go very far in. Enough to seat a round ball on top of a 19-25 grain power charge (?) or is there something hanging it up and it (the lever) should go farther. The slot the lever rides in goes farther towards the front of the cylinder but the lever stops again at 90 degrees. I had though that as its a short barrel model 4" it might be they way it was designed to function. Any comments?
