[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2154997, member: 78438"] I haven't done exactly that, but haven't ever really come across a situation while hunting big game where it would have mattered much. As long as you know where your ammo is, and you've done it a few times, single shots can be surprisingly quick to reload. My 375 cheytac is a repeater, but I've never fed a round out of the mag, it's a single shot to me, and as long as I'm not looking for a follow up in under a couple seconds it doesn't matter. For a long range rifle, I wouldn't really care if it was a single shot. For a brush gun, I wouldn't prefer it, but could make it work. It's all about practice, I like repeaters because it's an easy place to keep a couple extra rounds, not really about the speed of the next shot. Those times can and do happen, but it's not on the top of my list of important things. Follow up shots are pretty rare for me and not something I prioritize. To each their own. [/QUOTE]
