Now hold on there! I enjoy my bowl of grits with coarse ground black pepper and cut up pieces of Jack Link's peppered beef jerky. Sometimes topped with cheese. Or ham and red-eye gravy!
Much as I hate to say so, you sort of come across as a yankee!
Can't imagine how any one can load a c&b revolver with out being able to see part way in the cylinder, not all of the way to the bottom maybe.
I always load after setting out the exact number of bullets and wads. With my old fingers I have a short dowel to straighten out the occasional crooked wad and can use it to "feel" the powder.
After charging I count out the caps and just start the caps on the nipples then push them home with the dowel as my right thumb isn't too good either.
Yes I suppose if lightning were to strike some where in the operation You could get some powder burns but the bullets would never get you in the head!
PS: if you would shoot a .36 Navy you could save your grits!
