[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2295504, member: 118816"] In the event that you do not fire single shot, you can keep a loaded magazine in a shirt pocket inside your hunting coat. Only works if you hunt where you have time to access and load the magazine into the rifle prior to shooting. On the downside you have no idea what the actual temperature of the ammunition is going to be. While I am a stickler for pin point accuracy on the range when hunting I realize that the conditions are variable and don't always allow for this. The target area however is bigger than 1 MOA so if the rifle shoots 1 MOA or less there should not be an issue with missing the target whatever it is. I keep my rifle loaded, so the ammunition is at the same temperature as the action is. I do however confirm my zero with the actual ammunition I am going to be using in the same temperatures that I am going to be hunting. It's not a perfect solution but so far it has, much to the dismay of many deer worked very well. [/QUOTE]
