Starting Limited: Is load-2 the right method to practice?

[Matt Griffin]

I see that there are rule changes in the works and I'm still befuddled by the varying MG, USPSA, IPSC, NRA, etc. rule differences. My question is: should I start by learning the weak hand reload from a carrier or by learning the load-2, which seems to be faster but might become illegal?

Thanks,

Matt

I had read that all ammo must be on belt, but I that was for IPSC matches.

I can only think of one reason the load-2 vest (style of loading) would become illegal. Because it takes away the advantage some shooters have that have invested a LOT of time perfecting that technique. If you can't win at the stage, win by the pen.

There is no rule nor any talk of a rule that would make the load 2 method illegal in the United States.

Practice both as they each have advantages and disadvantages. The load two belts aren't going anywhere in outlaw 3 gun.
