I've recently purchased my first black powder revolvers and have not yet been able to get out to shoot, but have disassembled and cleaned each and then loaded each. My question is: according to each thing I've read about loading the ball should be only about an eighth of an inch below the rim of the cylinder, but mine are seated about a half and inch or so below the rim. Am I missing something in my loading, is this depth too deep for safely firing, I am using a bp load of 25 grains, a felt wad, and then the ball.?
