[QUOTE="Stillhunter, post: 1031513, member: 4765"] So I read a copy of Lois Awerbuck's [I]The Defensive Shotgun[/I], Then I went out and set one up (a ghost ring equipped 870). Now I've had both range time and drills with dummy ammo, and I have a question about the loading drills. Assume you have just fired a charge of buckshot, then reflexively cycled the action loading another round of buck in the chamber, then find you need to go to a slug because the well-aimed buckshot wasn't effective or the target moved out of buckshot range. You pull a slug from the buttcuff and put it in the magazine. You now have two options for getting it into the chamber. What do you do and teach? A. Fire the buckshot, placing an ineffective shot downrange somewhere and accepting the risk that comes with that, then cycling the slug up. B. Hit the bolt release, momentarily losing the firing grip to do so, and ejecting the live buckshot load onto the ground to cycle the slug up. C. Something else D. Drill on both and let circumstances dictate. Thanks [/QUOTE]
