Loading a shotgun is a crucial skill for hunters, sport shooters, and anyone who uses a shotgun for self-defense. It is important to understand the different types of shotguns and the ammunition they use in order to load them safely and correctly.
There are two main types of shotguns: break-action and pump-action. Break-action shotguns are loaded by opening the barrel and inserting the shells into the chamber. Pump-action shotguns are loaded by pumping the forend back and forth, which ejects the spent shell and chambers a new round.
