So the rules allow for a sixth chamber to be loaded and remain uncapped for use in on the clock reloads for cap and ball revolvers. I was playing with my new polish star capper yesterday and noticed I could easily cap the next to fire chamber on the ASM 1858. This means that you could shoot five and if you thought a reload was necessary, simply cap, cock and fire without having to do any manual cylinder indexing... thought ya'll might like to know.
