I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the past threads but could somebody tell me how careful they are with picking up and disposing of lead rings after the round ball is seated? With the Remington 58 cylinders being easy to remove it is easy to pick out the lead rings if I am using the loading stand that you mount the cylinder on. But when loading Colt's and 58s if loaded while in the gun it seems like the rings can be pushed down in the cylinder or even hard to recover most of the time. It doesn't seem to affect accuracy but I have wondered if other shooters think of this? Also it seems a little difficult lately in finding .375 round balls for a Navy Arms Navy so I bought a box of conicals from Buffalo Bullet Company. I will never do that again because they are very hard to get started straight and they always want to start crooked. I almost thru the rest of them away and I know you most certainly don't turn them the other way.
