| Was just reading thru the rules for each division and see that all but open say no more than 9 total before the start. 9.3.2 says give a procedural for each round over that. Can open load as many as they want or did somebody forget to put it in the open division too? |
| Next season I'm switching to a 10 round xrail tube I one at The state match. Load 9 and The start and load up more if needed after. Since I either weak hand load 4 or quad load, it makes it more forgiving when running a stage and loading. I can load 4 in transition when before I could only load 3 or 2. |

Quoted:
Your shotgun may hold more than 9 rounds as long as it is a conventional tube magazine (no detachable mags or X-rails) and before the start signal it is not loaded with more than 9 total (8 in the mag,1 in the chamber). You can top it off after the start. We start a lot of stages cruiser ready 9 in the mag and chamber empty bolt closed. As soon as I chamber a round I throw in two more rounds unless the stage is 8 targets or under. |

My point was, unless the stage description says you must start with less, in the Tactical divisions your shotgun may be capable of holding more than 9 rounds but, only 9 may be in the gun before the start signal. You may load more after the start signal. |

You may load more after the start signal. That is the case in most matches these days, however there are still a few matches that will limit the gun’s capacity in some divisions/classifications. For instance the Blue Ridge Mountain 3 Gun’s tactical (optic and iron) class is still 8+1 max for the shotgun capacity. You always see a few of the 9+ tube guys making a plug just before the match starts. Just be sure to check the particulars of the match to know the rules of the day. |
