What's a "day's shooting" with a percussion revolver?

While enjoyably reading of others on here that expound upon the tricks and little tid bits that they've found to smooth and shoot their revolvers better, I've often wondered- what constitutes a full day's shooting out of one, six-shot pers revolver?

The most I've run through one gun without a loading stand is seven cylinders full- I was about worn out! I wanted to shoot more, but didn't want to load any more. It was in the summer time too, so I figure the heat got to me and I must say, I don't enjoy blackpowder shooting when sweating like the proverbial pig.

I did figure out some time ago that, although it's nice to have five or six cylinders to change out while shooting is good, they can be a bear to have to clean if time is short.

If I could just teach the wife to clean my blackpowder guns.
