OscarMike Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 How do you load on a dry chamber? I dual in my strong hand with one dropped into port and one into the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1time Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Throw 2 into the tube of an A5. The shotgun chambers one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Too bad it wouldnt shoot itself, cause then you wouldnt be empty and needing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I like to curse a bit and then stare at the gun in wonder. I never seem to get past this point. Is there something I should do after the cursing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcs352 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I perform the same loading technique as kurtm....lots and lots of cursing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I like to curse a bit and then stare at the gun in wonder. I never seem to get past this point. Is there something I should do after the cursing? Yes, you need to look at the gun one more time, before reloading.....look - curse - look - reload. This works for me.

kurtm Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I must ask this one question on your technique, the "look-curse-look", will an open mouthed stare-curse-bewildered head shake with eye roll, followed by closing the bolt on your thumb be too many steps? Or should I try to do away with the eye roll. It won't be easy, but I've got all winter to dry practice. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Wait, the Magpul video's said that I have to have the RO yell at me while I look bewildered first (1:40 or so) , you guys are now telling me I have to do the reloading AND the cursing/yelling all by myself. This crap is hard. Edited November 27, 2014 by Vlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Count better or make better stage plans so you don't shoot it empty? Wait, that's just crazy talk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Count Better? Is he related to Count Chocula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I just stop when I'm empty so I hope its at the end of stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Count Better? Is he related to Count Chocula? There were 8, 8, 8 shells! Ah ha ha haaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Curse, press the bolt release, and quad as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMonty Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Match Saver, or Match Ender based on your point of view. I use one and it works fairly well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Post Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Do like me, as you cuss, load a shell backwards into the port. Oh, then press the bolt release before resuming the cussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Count Better? Is he related to Count Chocula? Evidently my sarcasm was limited by posting from my phone.... I intended to imply that perhaps it would be more productive to focus on ways to avoid needing to load a shotgun with an empty chamber on the clock rather than finding the optimum way to make said load. Not that I've ever shot a stage and run the shotgun dry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 With weak hand (left) I grab 2 off the belt, drop 1 into the chamber, release the bolt, and shove the other into the tube. It works really well and gives you that 2nd shot if needed. If there's nothing on the belt, I've got a Match Saver that works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've got a Match Saver that works well. Yep, mine does too, I rip the whole thing off the gun and feed the entire thing, shell and holder included, into the loading port. Then we are back to the cursing plan.

heaman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 If match saver is an option, I use it. If not, I strong hand load two and drop one in the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS761 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I just quad load into the empty chamber. Sometimes I get at least one in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Now see, Fishsticks? You went and got this whole thing all serious and such. Your point was well made, but with ALL the different ways of loading these days the O.P.s question was going to get swamped. I thought I would bring a bit of levity to the whole thing. Yours was a tough one to change around to something funny...but I had to try. The count was all I had...sorry Greendragon64, I spent 5 minutes cleaning up the beer I sprayed all over.....gotta watch your post while drinking! The serious answer is to do what ever you have PRACTICED a lot for lock back, because......I know....I know.....they are all about the same. And now that the fun is gone let the bickering begin!
