As is, the Hawkeye now takes 3 in the mag in addition to the 1 in the chamber. Same arrangement in the 404-375 Ruger. I know there are some (many?) on this Forum who feel strongly about 'more is better for DG' but I can't say I've felt endangered so far carrying only 4 rounds in the Ruger. I prefer to keep the lines of the stock and the liveliness of the rifle as it is to having 1-2 more rounds in a shad-belly mag. YMMV.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
