Loading technique can,almost always, be improved on, but that will not overcome the loading drawbacks of the O/U double rifle, when compaired to a S/S! What I mean by this is, improvement depends on the way you load both. If one needs improveing, they usually both do!

The O/U will only have loading drawbacks if the reloader is using the wrong technique.

The "cartridges between the fingers" method may look macho but it is not necessarily the best way to do it, for SxS or O/U.

I gave up the Stewart Granger/Peter Capstick style of loading years ago as I found a much improved way to do it!
