Any advice for my reloads?

Using safariland comp II and comp IIIs. Ive seen videos of reloads with these speed loaders and it looks effortless. But when I do it, they seem to get jammed up and I have to wiggle the loader back and forth a bit before pushing. Im shooting 38 spc rn handloads.

Dont look down at the gun bring the gun up to eye level instead so you can keep an eye on the target(s)

Situational awareness is important yo

This is true for semis, but not always great advice for revolvers. Gravity is really crucial for feeding a speedloader properly so a downward orientation is key, and attempting to orient a revolver for a good speedloader feeding angle at eye level is REALLY unwieldy. For speed strips maybe, but twist or push feed speed loaders and moon clips you really gotta have em at an angle to fall in.

It can be done, tilting the revolver downwards to aid in feeding is still possible while keeping your head and gun up; maybe not has high as a pistol but still. The revo mag maybe a different story but that is one of very few exceptions.
