I never said you insulted or attacked the OP, and I did not intend to imply that. I was directing my response more broadly. I do apologize if I gave that impression. You did not attack the OP, he was long gone from THR by the time you and I chimed in.
Not really. You don't put a smokeless revolver on a loading stand and hover over the barrel as you load it.
If you can seat a tight fitting ball and patch into a firelock rifle while keeping your hand from passing over the bore axis, you are stronger than I am. Personally, I need to press pretty hard on the ball with the short starter. And I'm not the only one.
Are you prepared to call Don Klein unsafe?

when it comes to controlling the muzzle of your gun a black powder revolver is the same as a S&W Model 60.

they don't need to be directly in line with the bore centerline at any time
