Yep, I understand and do that.
However, some of us here shoot competition and it is not allowed to load 6 for numerous reasons mainly, safety. We find that cylinder that shoots a "flyer" and don't shoot that one including taking the nipple out and resting the hammer on that cylinder.
I'm just now getting the bugs worked out of this new unfired ROA. Not quite there yet, close though. In slow-fire competition, (1 hand, 25 & 50 yards) some guys load one cylinder that shoots the best, and take 45 minutes between shots. Perfectly legal. This explanation is only to clear up why (kwhi43@kc.rr.com) questioned the reason I loaded all 6.

Just giving you a hard time. I used to load only one chamber in matches
I did this way for over 40 yrs. But two years ago at Friendship in the timed
fire revolver match, I almost ran out of time So at my age "70" I guess
I'm getting slow so now I load five chambers. Timed fire in revolver matches
is 10 min for 10 shots.

Yes indeedie!
Indeed we do that too! I have more fun knowing my gear is in perfect working order and is accurate. Then if I miss, I know it's me. Getting that perfect formula down for a BP firearm is the biggest part of the fun.
