I suggest with the primer up, this helps prevent dust, dirt and debris from getting into the shell itself. Dust gets everywhere, but if the opening is pointed down its more than likely not to sit into the shell. Also, if you do a tactical reload, you can then place the shell primer down so that you can see it still has rounds in the shell, but you may not be too sure about how many. This way you can always tell a full shell from an empty one, and have access to reload that shell. So basically when you look to your shells you see a primer its full, you see a bb its got some bite left who knows how much, but just one might be all it takes to save your skin. I do the same thing with magazines in pouches, so when I look for a mag I know which ones are full.
