Welcome to the black side, and yes, there are a few things to watch out for.
1. Remember when loading that it's POWDER first, THEN ball. A pound to a pinch of parrot poop says that one day you are going to do it the wrong way around. There are only two kinds of BP shooters where so-called 'dry-balling' is concerned - those who admit they've done it [like moi], and liars.
2. Use loading phials, NOT directly from the spout of the powder flask - go to Wedgenock and try this and you'll be sent off instantly - it's generally prohibited in comps worldwide.
3. Get used to getting very dirty, very fast.
4. ALWAYS wear eye protection, even if you already wear eyeglasses.
5. The R&S is my all-time favourite BP revolver from the grip POV - for me, nothing, not even my ROA, comes near. The one you mention sounds a bargain, but make certain that it does index correctly throughout the full range of rotation. Does it come with the right-sized ball mould? Or are you one of these 'bloated plutocrats' who can afford ready-made stuff?
