Hand Crossbow Master

(This feat tries to accomplish what the crossbow expert feat seems to on first reading)

• ---

  You can use an action to preload a hand crossbow. 
• You can have dexterity modifier number of hand crossbows preloaded at a time.
• When you use the Attack action and attack with a one handed melee weapon, if your other hand is free. You can use a bonus action to, draw, attack with and stow a preloaded hand crossbow on your person. If this attack is made against a creature more than 5 feet away from you, being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack roll. On a hit this attack deals an extra d6 piercing damage.
