In the Prime and Load sequence the soldier moves his musket from the left shoulder bringing it down to his upper right side while opening the pan by pushing the frizzen forward exposing the pan. The next command would normally be Handle Cartridge and the soldier would move his right hand under the flap of thecartridge box to remove one of the cartridges bringing it to his mouth to tear the tail of the paper cartridge open so the pan could be primed with a small portion of the powder. The pan would then be closed so the musket could be cast about to the left side to continue the loading sequence.
