Bronco you got that right!
After the first shot the boys of the blind planned against me.
I was told on a count of 3.
Well the leader starts counting...1....2..BAM...They ALL SHOOT. and then he hollers 3. I got to smoke a cripple.


But loading is easy. Not much different than rifle loading. Bigger posies bag though.
Once I develop a load I cut a brass tube for my powder charge. Pockets in my possible bag for wads and I do pregrease. A pocket for a handful of wads in a plastic capped container . I did use thin file cards for over the shot wad but just use half a fiber wad. Just easier and at times that thin card was not seated correct. Nothing worse than your shot dribbling out.
Half the fiber powder wad works far better.
You can get leather shot bags that have 2 different shot loads. Thumb pressed tube fills to what you select. So my possible is container of wads pregreased, brass powder flask, leather shot bag, plastic shot cups, and some dry fiber wads.
Duck hunting swat shot if needed I would forgo the shot cup. Gave me a bigger pattern.
Worked well. Oh and a brass primer holder.
Literally a blast to shoot.
I also pheasant, grouse, woodcock hunt with it.
For grouse woodcock no shot cup.
