[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 755197, member: 39764"] I look at it this way.... We shoot Long Range rifles and typically, even with a detachable magazine, I usually leave the magazine out and chamber one at a time. I think the only time I have any rounds in the mag is when I'm carrying the rifle (well, my 308, the 338 needs a lackey to carry it...:)) and then I have one chambered on half safety and 3 in the box mag. Don't believe I've ever cycled the 338 with the mag locked in. I'm a little concerned about loosing one. They are $118.00 a pop. On select fire you can only send one at a time anyway, no matter how many are in the magazine and bullets weigh, especially 3 series and larger and weight is always a consideration when hunting rough country. I've never been on any hunt with more than a dozen rounds for each rifle, total. At least in my perspective, excess ammunition capacity is just that excess baggage. Thats why, I really have no issue with a magazine capacity ban for rifles, especially magnum caliber bolt guns. Handguns are a different animal. Cumo's 7 round limit isn't about 7 rounds. He knows that a standard 1911 magazine (depending on frame size) can be up to 9, 10 with one chambered so the 7 limit is a thinly disguised attack to limit any amount. My handgun of choice is a full size Wilson Combat with 9+1 in 45 auto Winchester ball. I guess I could add a spacer to the mag to reduce capacity 6+1 like we put spacers in pump shotguns up here in Michigan to comply with hunting regulations, no big deal. I have some solace in the fact that I'll probably skate clean with my little Bond Snakeslayer. Single action over and under 45-410 2 shot. Bet Feinstein has never seen one......:D [/QUOTE]
