Does anyone load a round directly into the chamber/ejection port?
Re: Does anyone load a round directly into the chamber/ejection port?
When I go to the range with my BBS 44 I always load one shot at a time through the port. This is for two reasons, one I don't have to chase my brass and two when the range is called cold, I won't be caught with rounds in the tube magazine.

Re: Does anyone load a round directly into the chamber/ejection port?
I just pulled the Big Boy 357 Carbine from the SAFE and tried the technique again, just to make sure my memory was correct. Of course I used training rounds left over from my time as an instructor... but it worked slick as owl um... snot. Give 'er a try when you get a chance. The round you drop in will fall nose down, but... it's supposed to. Remember to close the action correctly... of you'll have to give 'er a shake to get the incoming round to track into the chamber.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
