Proper protocol, or etiquette if you will, is to stand at your post with your action open and a shell laying on the carrier or lifter while awaiting your turn to shoot. After the person on the station ahead of you shoots, you close your action, raise your gun (often simultaneously), take your position, call, shoot, and then open the action and catch or let your empty hit the ground. Don't pick it up now. Drop another shell in the action, wait with it open until your turn unless you are ready to move to next station. Don't move from station to station with a shell in the gun.
Most clubs specify not to close your action or raise your gun until it is your turn to shoot.
There is an ata rule specifying not to do anything that disturbs the previous shooter.
