Folks,
I am a revolver only shooter. Never shoot single-shot anything. Everything I have ever read says the ball should be loaded with the sprue up. (Forward, in the direction of bullet travel once fired.) I have always done it this way but only because:
1) I never thought about it enough to question conventional wisdom.
2) I never shot around anyone else and so was never exposed to an alternate philosophy.
3) I have not honed my shooting technique to the point where I can detect the difference.
What does the data tell us about it?
What does your collective experience tell us about it?
Have I perhaps missed a large volume of literature that holds that the ball should be loaded with the sprue down?
When will I stop asking these impertinent questions?
Tnx,
