If I need a "follow-up" shot, I am doing it wrong.....
I understand what you're saying but ...
There's only been one deer that I've shot with my ML where I didn't reload. That one I could see was a bang flop DRT.
The point being that until you find 'em, poke 'em, and make sure they're dead it's not a bad idea to have another load in the tube.
YMMV.
