Load each chamber completely (except the cap) before going on to the next one.
For me it is much faster to use a BP Revolver Stand. That frees up both my hands to measure and pour powder. I don't pour directly from a flask like some folks do. My routine:

Measure powder, pour in first chamber, push in lubricated wad, rotate cylinder and repeat for remaining chambers. When all chamber have powder and a wad I take the revolver out of the stand and use the revolver's rammer to seat all the balls one right after the other. This way, when you pick up the revolver to put the balls in the powder will not spill out regardless of the angle you hold the revolver. The wad holds the powder in. And, seating the balls is fast because you are doing all 6 one right after the other while the rammer is in your hand. Also, with the revolver in your hands you have maximum leverage based on positioning most comfortable to you.
