I have been to many Area 1 Championships, Sectional matches, and 5 Nationals and have not been DQ'd shooting or reloading my revolver. However, I keep my muzzle downrange while I am reloading just like the rules specify. Break the rules and you have to pay the consequences. I haven't pointed my muzzle up since the "old day" of PPC. If you point your gun over the berm even with the cylinder open you are only asking for trouble. My idea of spending $100-$300 on match fees, $500 on travel, another $300 on Hotel, $250 on a rent a car not including food and drink and getting a DQ is NOT my idea of a "fun" time.
