Watching YouTube videos i see people load their magazine from a box or ammo wallet before they set out on a stalk.
I tend to load mine before leaving home (stalking is within 15 miles) and just carry in my pocket to slot into the rifle when I arrive.
What do you do? What is consider best practice?

Loaded mag in side pocket of rifle case.
Mag gets inserted into rifle when I am on the ground (ie over perimeter gate/fence) and then load as appropriate.

That’s no big deal.
You have a perfectly good reason to be crossing the road with your rifle. You can even shoot across the road if it's safe to do so.

I also have a permission split by a road. Its the M4! Don’t think I’ll be crossing or shooting over it

In this day and the age we live in surely the sensible thing to do is to load the magazine when you have parked up at the stalking ground I don't think that the equation muzzle velocity × 70mph ÷ by the m6 would cut much sympathy with the police, shooting across a road if you think its safe are you joking I didn't realise you could now print your own fac .

If the highway is part of your permission you can shoot from it provided that you don't "annoy, interrupt or endanger people using it" applies also to footpaths, bridleways, byways and cycle tracks!

If the druggies are coming then it’s a full 10 round clip in the rifle and another in the back right pocket for fast reloading
