The holes in the cylinder of a revolver, where the ammunition or rounds are placed, are known as "charge holes" or "chambers". Prior to the development of the self contained cartridge which holds the primer, powder and bullet, these components were placed in the gun individually. The "charge hole"was the part of the gun where the powder was loaded.
