Sorry, I should have specified that the TRAP range is not the ideal place for a bottom-eject. For multishot targets (5-Stand, Wobbles, Doubles & SC) there's no problem, but on a single-shot sport like traps, the regulars object to loading in the mag tube, and more than once recommended that I flip the gun over, drop the shell on the fork and rack it in. I switched to an O/U and autoloader for traps, which I've carried over to my other clay shooting. It was a good move, since the Ithaca pounds the heck out of your shoulder after a few shells. The BPSs I've fired were heavier and imparted less felt recoil.
