[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1598576, member: 101859"] Im just trying to break the common idea that single shots are slow. I have killed multiple running elk with them and never felt like my 2nd and 3rd shots were too slow. Especially when it comes to long range, where you have time to set up and usually do not need a follow up. But even when you do, its fast. The rounds feed better, never jam, dont beat hollow points closed and dont loosen neck tension. It all adds up to better accuracy and on game performance, seating the pressure ring of the bullet passed the sized part of the neck is well known to loosen with neck tension. Not a single accuracy minded competition out there has competitors seating bullets passed the sized part of the neck. Seating a bullet deeper than it should be to facilitate mag feeding is a sacrifice in so many areas. Now if we are talking a short mag or light weight for mid range I dont really see an issue, but with these big, true long range cases you need all the accuracy you can possibly find if you plan to take those really long shots IMO.
