I never 'count' , depend, or expect to rely on a second shot. The vast majority are first shot kills. However, I have killed a very few with a 2nd shot. I can not remember ever killing on a 3rd shot.
That's why I'm completely comfortable hunting bolts. I have a few pumps (M 6s) and hunt them occasionally, mostly to carry something different. I do like 'clips', detachable box mags and can't really explain why.
Familiarity, familiarity, familiarity, regardless of rifle.
