I have extremely rapid re-load on my M-3's... I stick a couple of rolls of
films' leaders into spare take-up spools, and leave them like that, in my
"Unexposed Film To Be Loaded" Pocket, until I need them.

I take out both the exposed film, and the take-up spool from the Camera To
Be Re-Loaded, and stick them both in the "Exposed Film" Pocket, until I
have time to deal with them... and then insert a Film and Spool Set into
the empty camera.
