I just recently returned from a plains game hunt with my double rifle. Except for the warthog both animals (Impala & Wildebeest) required a chase. I read that unless you need to immediately fire the second bbl, reload the right side. I must say I like having the case sitting right there when the rifle opens. I just lifted it out and dropped in a new round.

In fact, when I did reach the Wildebeest, my first follow-up shot missed and I took him with the left bbl. If I have not reloaded after the first shot and took the follow up with the left bbl after the chase - I'd have lost him.

Shoot, reload then you have a one/two follow up.

Regarding brass. I have an ammo pouch with loaded cartridges, but drop the empty into my pocket. My PH picked up the brass from my bolt rifle.

The authorities like you to have all you empties when you leave. Mine were inspected. 80 cases in, 80 cases out.
