Upland hunting with hammer guns

I thought Bill advised biting the crimp end of the shotshell. That is what I do anyway. It then wedges in the chamber and won't fall out.

Best,

Scott, the preferred method to cock a hammer gun at the rise is to cock the left barrel as you start the mount and the right barrel as the gun comes to the shoulder. You are performing the most difficult maneuver first, and the easier one as you are ready to pull the trigger.

Thanks Bill. I guess I am just too slow and need to practice.
