[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 129063, member: 2852"] As for your question about repeaters and single shots, Jerry Stiller has an answer for you. He is the maker of the Predator, Viper, Cobra, etc. actions which are on all the actual (not made up) competitive firing lines all over the world. To determine the answer to this, you have to test with a 6ppc to get the best pure results because it is the most accurate cartridge in the world to date. Jerry took an action and cut his famous "drop port" into the bottom of his single shot actions to see if it was faster with extraction. Once he made the hole big enough for the ppc and br, he increased the hole size to see if it would be as stiff or stiff enough to shoot as well and by golly, it started getting too much flex and was not as accurate as his smaller hole and solid bottom actions. Now, for varmints or big game or just informal target shooting, the repeater has no noticeable reduction in accuracy. And maybe even in 1000 yard br it is hard to notice, but in 100 yard br-where you could lose by .001" of an inch, the solid bottom action or versions thereof are the undisputed king. [/QUOTE]
