Bit of a random question, but I remember a Clint Eastwood movie where he reloads his 1851/1861 revolver in the middle of a gunfight in town using preloaded cylinders. He calmly disassembles the revolver and loads a new cylinder.

Does anyone know which movie this is please?

Ozark Huckleberry is right it's Pale Rider.

 

How did Josey Wales become a local category using 5 pistols instead of a rifle and shotgun?

"Pale Rider" it is, and it's a 1858 Remington. Josie Wales, in the movie, carried 4 revolvers, so naturally SOMEBODY just HAD to try it at a match. If I get back into it, I probably will.

Pale Rider is a bp category with full boat loads . 40 cal and above 

 

Josey Wales is all pistols no rifle or shotgun. FYI

I've seen the Josey Wales category as a "hybrid".  4 BP pistols, any caliber, plus the shotgun.

Since they're not SASS-categories, it's pretty much up to the match director to set the requirements.

Exactly. The clubs around these parts it’s all pistols usually.

At 44:50, you see Little Joe pull the barrel off his 1851 to reload it.
