It's gotta be hard on shells loading and unloading 5 rounds on every stand too, especially on a slow day. Do they get too bent up to use? Ever jam the weapon?
Unloading the OU is elegant compared to cycling 5 rounds and jacking them into the seat of the truck at the end of every stand. One of the comments I got about unloading at a meeting last night was about a guy who shot his truck in the process. I'd like to depress the ramp and dump the rounds from the magazine in one heap without cycling through the chamber. Has anyone tried this on their Extrema?
Boomsplat - The best cheapest I found so far was 12 ga 3.5" lead #4 buck with 54 pellets for about $1.50 a round and that included the shipping.
