I've been thinking about adding a Cap n' Ball revolver to my collection. I'm still trying to decide which model and caliber to get but I think I narrowed it down to Uberti as the maker. My first question so far is what is the best and safest way to load a cap n' ball revolver? With the reseach that I have done, there appears to be two ways you can load them. My explanations below are just to give you a general idea.
The first way is to put the correct powder charge, a wad, the lead ball, use the loading lever, cap, then fire.
The second way is to put the correct powder charge, the lead ball, use the loading lever, put some lube to seal the cylinder, cap, then fire
