Wait a minute- do I have this right? Lord Muckin'-Futch, the Duke of Earl (Ellington, not Wellington) is shootin driven grouse on Blabbermouth Moor- with his matched pair of Purdey guns. He fires two shots with the No. 1 gun, and hands it closed to his loaded. who then opens it, ejecting the two spent cartridges, whilst also handing His Lord-Ship the second closed and loaded Purdey, with the safety catch on?
Every film I have seen shows the Upper Crust opening the fired gun, whether one or both shells have been fired, ejecting the empties and handing the broked opne double to the loader, who then passes back the closed and loaded second gun (with safety catch on I presume)-- This is the way I saw it done in the H&H videos with Instructor Ken Davies-
