[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1912748, member: 104268"] I run a short boxed savage (3 of them in fact). You can actually load one round in the top, of the mag, as it will sit up high enough for the tip to clear the front of the box. It's the next round that drives it down to be constrained by the 3.5" box. I run one in the pipe and one in the top of the mag when deer hunting. If I was really concerned about capacity, I'd load my accuracy bullets however long they like, then run a couple of mag length bullets under those for a real emergency shot. Theoretically, if you need all the precision you can get, you're probably shooting at something far enough away to have time to single load. Also, get a little practice single loading, and you'd be surprised how fast you can cycle them through if they're handy (on ground next to you when prone, or in a pouch on the side of the gun).
