someone told me to put them brass up since the weight of the shell might make them fall . . . .huh. . . . .ya learm something new every day. . . .

@admiralackbar999 It always depends on what the side saddle is made of and what the manufacturer recommends for it. It also makes a difference if its high brass or low brass and how far you place it in the side saddle.

plastic gets soft and shells can drop. Tactical load the first one then time will be on your side to load from the top. That's just me and my way of doing it. I still fully respect you philosophy though. Nice post

@nealthesteel Ya all side saddles are not made equally! A lot of cheaper ones ive used make it a heck of a time to use them.

Also think of how you will be loading particular rounds. I keep buckshot brass facing down on my buttstock saddle so I can quickly load the mag tube with them with my right hand, left hand on the forend. But I keep slugs facing up because my shotgun allows the action to be racked without pulling a round from the mag tube so you can manually chamber a specialty round through the side ejection port.

I usually roll w/ 1up, 5 down on the side saddle. I found that loading shells with my right hand from shells facing up position into the open cocked chamber is pretty fast. Although it is taught that you never want to compromise your firing grip, I am able to get fast follow up shots on emergency reload drills, even at targets out to 25 yds. I practiced it so much that is is as fast as my transition to secondary weapon. Bad Technique or Viable Option?

Great video. Made a lot of sense. I tried it with my new Saddle and I could do it quickly and efficiently.

My dream shotgun...

What brand is your side saddle?



[Renegadev22]

Branches, striking primers since.. wait a second..

[getemhi]

@gmaster45612374 And you are absolutely correct. There is no right or wrong way.

Really nice vid. I enjoyed it. Thanks. Going to buy a side saddle this PM. Oh. BTW the correct word is "orient" not "orientate", just saying.

[Oldsmobility98]

If a shell were to be detonated on your side-saddle, the brass case head would be the most likely dangerous projectile, not the heavy shot load. Shotgun shells firing out of battery typically just blow out the side of the hull, relatively harmlessly.

check my home defense vid, thats how they should be kept
