[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1195209, member: 74902"] I shoot my long range heavy rifles single shot. One has a single shot follower installed so it makes a repeater a true single shot. Main reason I do this is because I'm paranoid about by meticulously created handloads. I have gone to great trouble to insure .001 runout and seating depths just as accurate. A repeater feed ramp can destroy your runout on long seated bullets as the nose of the bullet rides up the ramp. Also a heavy recoiling 300 RUM etc. might change the seating depth when low neck tension is used and a BLD magazines might allow the bullets to slam into the front of the magazine when a round is fired. Like I said I'm paranoid... [/QUOTE]
