Kjdowning18 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I run dean deturks load 2 vest and am very happy with it so far... I also run a man mountain carrier for my slugs usually and have a couple ap 4x4s in my bag for bigger shotgun stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeD Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I started running the carbon arms fsl8, I have 2 on the front of my belt. I have ap customs load two if I need more for a stage. I like them both, they work great. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyoneton Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have the Chameleon and like it a lot. I don't ever see anybody else, at least around here, running on and that makes me feel special. ; ) Seriously, I like the elastic and the holders on the Chameleon a lot. But if you order one, do wwwaaayyyy ahead of when you think you will need it. Some come right on but mine got lost somewhere coming over the sea and took months to get here. I think they shipped it right away, it was the shipping that was slow. Sat on some dock in some container, or on the corner of some Customs Inspectors desk I suppose.

oak hill Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Try a couple different styles to see what works best with your preferred style of loading. I personally have settled on Taccom quadload, at least for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stage12m Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I use the carbon arms FSL12, haven't found anything better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpie427 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I started off using the AP 4-Shell caddies and the 4X4 for weak hand reloading. I recently transitioned to the TACCOM for strong hand loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakracker Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Unless the gear starts driving the game, rather than the other way around, I can not see how a lot of the newer caddies can survive. Some of the caddies that are being mentioned so frequently now, do not seem to be designed for dealing with what is called an action shooting sport? Right now I have four new caddies, each in a pretty different design from the other and all having their fans. Of the four, it would seem that the EZ8 offers the most promise and versatility but it could use a bit more tweaking. If there is any chance that one might see advantage in a flat out run with possibly a jump or two thrown in and then dropping to the ground before the stage ends, then a lot of the new caddies are not going to be able to play that type of game very well. Anyone else notice that all of these new warp speed reloads require lab like conditions surrounding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Payne Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My son and I both used Taccom Qualoads at the Blue Ridge Mountain 3-gun and neither of use lost a round from one of the carriers. This match had stages where you were climbing onto rooftops and going prone, lots of running and a big jump over a ditch, and shooting from unusual positions. Great match and the carriers held up well. The only thing I wouldn't do is attempt to slide head first into a shooting position. I also don't like to use them when shooting shotgun from inside of a vehicle because they tend to get in the way in confined areas. I blame the carriers but it probably has as much to do with my gerth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdiesel Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 After searching for the right one myself, I ended up buying some kydex and making my own, was way cheap and easy...there is a thread on here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Check out http://www.invictuspractical.com/ I got a 8D and 12Q and they are very well made. Just getting into quad and dual loads but they function great and Kevin Pratt the owner of the company has great customer service. Worth a look.

iswope Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't have anything to compare it to since the first shot shell caddy I ever used when I started competing last summer was a Taccom 8 shell carrier in the Load 2 method. Load 2 seems so natural to me that I couldn't imagine loading individual shells from a normal 4 shell caddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the 28 round Chameleon load 2 vest. And no one can keep up with me when it comes to loading. In my local matches in alaska. We run a lot of shotgun. I've been through 4 different shotguns and even more than that in different shell caddies. Just to find the fastest combo. And I can load 12 shells in 5.5 seconds damn near every time. I would recommend that vest to anyone who wants to do the " load 2 " method and just be stupid fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I got the Load2Vest from the guy on facebook. It was pretty cheap and works for me........but I'm slow anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
