kmca Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've been reading threads for 2 days and I still haven't found the answer I'm looking for. I think I've narrowed my choices to the Invictus and the Taccom double deuce carriers. I haven't used any "load 2 or load 4" methods and I've read that I should start with the load 2 and progress to the load 4 with experience/practice. My question is: Does either of these carriers lend itself to good load 2 then to load 4? Is there a better setup that I should consider? Thanks.

TonytheTiger Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Invictus 2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I use the Invictus and I have no problems doing deuces and quads from the same caddies. I haven't used Tac-Com's double deuces, but from the looks of the design they would work well for both, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimtrue0531 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I just started in this game and went straight for the load four method. I am using the invictus and have had no problems doing either 2 or 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchris4769 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Check out the gunner solutions ez8 carriers. Let's you use load 4, dual loads or quad loads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Thanks everyone for your input. I ordered one and if I like it, I'll order a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmca Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Which one you go with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk After a discussion with the "expert" at Brownell's, I went with the TacCom quad carrier. He assured me, I could return them for the Infictus if I wasn't happy. Knowing Brownell's warranty, I have no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue6 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I am really liking the carbon Arms carriers myself, but I like the Tac com and infictus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmca Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Let us know how you like it when you get the chance. If this is mean for me, I ordered them on the 2nd. I guess because of the holiday, they just shipped out today. Should be here in a week. I'll let you know then : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I have fairly large hands and went with the taccom ones. For me they are easier to get my fingers around when quad loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Got them yesterday and put them on my belt. Quad loading is going to take a lot of practice, seems like my fingers are too short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Nonsense! I have the fingers of a fat ten year old, quad loading is all about technique, not physical attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'm going to load up the carriers, turn on you tube videos and do a little practicing. If you could recommend a video, I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Bambi vs. Godzilla is a pretty good you-tube video, as well as Boo, armadillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Can't say I've ever watched any instructional loading videos, it took me ten minutes to figure out all the ways that definitely didn't work and another hour to refine the technique I needed to practice. But I came from loading old school weak hand at about 5.5 sec per 8, so I have a lot of experience troubleshooting small technique issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm going to load up the carriers, turn on you tube videos and do a little practicing. If you could recommend a video, I would appreciate it. Do a Youtube search for Stuart Saunders Shotgun Loading. My British friend Stuart did a video to help shorten the learning curve. Finger length has much less impact than finger flexibility. Quad loading is not kind for those of us approaching Social Security age, and arthritis. It's just difficult to bend the fingers sufficiently to control the shells as needed. Dual loading is consistent for me, quads, I'm better off just throwing them on the ground to begin with, they'll end up there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That was the one I was referring to. For some reason the stupid computer won't let me paste a link. The practical shooting the British do is primarily shotgun, they have it down pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
