Hollywood "Magic"

In the Annie Oakley pic, I wonder how she stuffs those big fat cartridges from her belt into those little cylinders. The revolvers look like 22 rimfires to me.
The guns she used in the show were 4 inch Police Positive Specials in 38 Special. And those cartridges in her belt look to be 38 Special to me.
 
I remember reading Chuck Connors in The Rifleman wore 45-70 cartridges on his gun belts because they 'looked right' even though the several rifles he used were all (I believe) '92 Winchesters in 38-40 or 44-40 firing 5-in-1 blanks.
 
In "Spectre" James Bond shot down a helicopter, and from a great distance
from a moving speedboat, with his 7.62 Browning (.32 ACP) PPK.
