GoodOlBoy, I also shoot a bunch of single shots, but I wasn't speaking of those of us who have learned to make one shot kills. I don't believe I can reload a single shot as fast as I can a bolt action. I have shot moose with one shot and I shot one that took 3 shots to put him down; all three shots coverable with one hand about 1/3 of the was up behind the front leg on quartering shots. That was with a .35 Whelan, and I consider that to be an adequate cartridge for moose. There are times, when in spite of good marksmanship and bullet placement, the outcome isn't what we expect. We must be prepared to remedy those circumstances. The less experienced the shooter, the more likely those type of circumstances will occur.
