Nice. I installed a sidesaddle on my Mossberg not too long ago and have been practicing combat reloading. You're much better and faster than I am, but I have to ask...why not bring the shell up from underneath to minimize the potential of dropping it and avoid having to turn the shotgun sideways between every shot?
If you grab the shell and the brass rim is in your thumb, you're going to reload over the top. If the brass rim is in your pinky finger, you're going to reload from underneath.
You're also going to want to cant the shotgun to the side to reduce the chance of dropping a shell on the ground. Keep the shotgun canted as you shoot.
Ideally, you want to try and reload from underneath for every shot because it reduces the chance of your shell dropping on the ground.
