MOONCLIPS FOR USE IN BRAKE ACTION WEAPONS/FIREARMS

Abstract

An ammunition holder and loader device for shotshells for a shotgun has two adjacent chambers separated by a selected spacing and has a planar body. The body has a pair of cartridge receptacles, each having a resilient retainer element configured to removably retain a rear portion of a shotshell against limited extraction force and to enable removal of the shotshell in response to deliberate force greater than the limited force. The receptacles have opening facing opposite directions.
