Hi all - Doing my research here on these, the manual is downloadable as a PDF file from Pietta, which is nice, BUT. Reading it, the loading sequence says to fire caps to clear the nipples, then:
Place hammer at half cock position (loading cock position) and rotate cylinder to remove all spent caps. Hold the muzzle upward. Using a revolver powder measure, pour a measured charge into a chamber.
Rotate cylinder. Repeat procedure for the other chambers. Lay a pre-cut patch or a dose of semolina over the muzzle.
In that last line, I am guessing they mean over each powder charge, in each cylinder, from past experience? I wish they'd say what they meant! Just wondering if I'm guessing right here, tho, best to make SURE.
