For revolvers, just stick 'em into the cylinder, if the load fits, it fires. COL really doesn't matter for a revolver as long as the cylinder will rotate. Pretty easy to open a cylinder vs: taking the barrel out of say, a 1911. I load for 3 different 1911's (two wad guns, one hardball gun) and if the loads fit the Wilson they will fit the gun. Everything else I own is a revolver so they come with their own gauges :~)
