This is correct. What I find funny is that they put them in the box with the igniter side up. They give you this little pipe cleaner thing to pick them up with by pushing it thru the hole in the middle but that puts them in the wrong orientation to go into the barrel. So when I used to used pyrodex pellets I would turn them all over in the box so when I plucked one out with the little pipe cleaner stick, it was already oriented with the igniter side down ready to go in the barrel.
