If you already hold three shells in your hand and then reload, it takes two seconds to load all three with a Fast-Draw roll, or three seconds without the roll.

Okay, that sounds good to me.
So would it be allowable to use Fast-Draw (Ammo) at -6 to draw four shells at once and then proceed immediately to loading with the shells in your hand? Meaning that with a successful roll, you might load them all in three (two?) seconds?
Or if that's double-dipping, what about just using Ready to retrieve a handful of shells before beginning to load the gun? It seems that this would nearly always be faster than using the time given on p. 87.
