Depends upon the revolver. First you have to eject the spent brass -- many break-open revolvers will do this automatically, with a spring loaded system that ejects them all at once. Swing-open revolvers usually have to be pointed skyward and shaken to have the cases fall out. If the revolver is neither break open nor swing-open, then the cases have to be shaken or punched out one at a time through the loading gate. Then the revolver is ready for reloading. The bullets are loaded one at a time. If it's not a break/swing open, then they have to be loaded through the loading gate, and the cylinder rotated -- although that probably doesn't increase loading time very much. GURPS high-tech has rules for how long this all normally takes (I have the third edition, but I'm sure the fourth edition book has the same info).
