Is there a fast and preferred method of loading a SA wheel gun? I've found that if I hold the pistol in the left hand (I'm left-handed) and rotated the wheel with my left index finger and unload or load with my right hand it works best. I've tried unloading and loading each round at a time and unloading all and then loading all and found unloading all and then loading works best.

32-20 , 38-40 and 44-40 are bottle neck case load better and faster the straight wall case . A bottle neck will fall out once it is moved 1/4 inch the ejection stroke is super short and the bottle neck the base is super large and they funnel in . The next thing to make your Ruger a spinfree cylinder this help a lot . I put Powers pawls in all Ruger SA . If you are right or left handed you hold the gun in your left hand and work the ejector and load with the right hand . The best way is have a 2nd gun http://marauder.homestead.com/files/FreeSpin.html |

The spinfree will let turn the cylinder backwards if the locks up because high primer or a bullet jumps the crimp .No need to disassemble the gun to correct . Also if you drop the hammer before it is fully cock you can reach up and turn the cylinder backward without opening loading gate and you won't skip that round . Time is super important in a SASS/CAS match and if you are hunting the spinfree wil put your gun in service if jammed up so you don't miss the shot or become lunch ...............

I dont see any other way to load it. You have to hold it in the left hand.
