For 3 gun, if your tube holds 8 and you're not shooting open it isn't useful.
If you have a Benelli for HD it gets you one more shell than your tube will hold without keeping one in the chamber. Just skip step 4 above.
I think (have to ask Kurt here) that in some matches (SOF maybe) you used to be able to load all you wanted as long as the tube didn't extend a certain distance past the muzzle. Which is where he got the idea for soldering the LM choke in that ancient M1 of his, per the rules it extended the barrel and got him a 9 round tube, plus one in the chamber, plus one on the carrier for 11 total. I may be talking out my butt here, get him or maybe Pinto to verify this before you believe it.
The SLP won't do this, shells will sling out of the tube and onto the carrier when you retract the bolt enough to get another one on the lifter. If there's a way to do it I couldn't figure it out when I had mine, if you figure it out by all means post it up.
Minor sucks!
