[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 87501, member: 5"] Cowboy: The way I’d look at it is, if the gun is up to the task, power and accuracy wise, then I’d load them in whatever fashion it takes to get the best accuracy. If the bullet is put where it should, and has the construction and energy to handle the job, then it’ll probably not matter that it’s a single shot configuration if necessary. The 7mm AM I just got from Kirby has the HS bottom metal and DBM even though I load in a configuration that requires me to use it as a single shot. I knew going in that 99% of the rounds through the gun would be done single shot, but I want to be able to work up another, separate load, to use with the detachable box magazine should the need come up. I killed my deer and elk this season shooting the gun single shot and had no problems. I look it as though the single shot mode just makes me be more precise. There’s the possibility that you may count on using multiple shots if you have the repeating feature. Single shot will make sure you focus and make the first shot count. Just do your part and the single shot should be enough. Like Coyboy said though, you may be surprised and find that the shorter loaded length may be accurate enough for you. Try it both ways but don’t be afraid to go the single shot route.
