[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 2705197, member: 72104"] I'm curious to read folks' opinions on something. You are carrying one rifle. The buttstock ammo pouch holds several rounds. You could carry several different loads. What is your opinion of keeping the chamber empty until an opportune shot presents itself ? Take a moment to size up the situation. You would then hand chamber a single round, the most appropriate round for that distance/animal/etc. Is this strategy too picky/simplistic/idealistic/silly/ inconvenient/stupid/ all of the above ? I have no hidden agenda asking this, just curious. Now, I don't mean that you shouldn't at all times have some means of self defense against predators, that's self defense not hunting. [/QUOTE]
