I like the mag clip in my Tikka T3. Never a problem. In fact I prefer a clip mag to a fixed one. When you have to unload you merely put the clip with ammo in a jacket pocket, and reverse procedure when you need to reload. That works great for a tree stand. Then, also a second clip already loaded in a pocket can come in real handy if you need to reload in a hurry.
My current bear load is the 286 Partition at 2600 fps, or if I want to simulate a 35 Whelen, it's the 250 AB at 2600. As one poster mentioned: the 320 Woodleigh PP at +2400 is good enough for most anything, including Cape buff, within a couple hundred metres. RL-17 is my propellant of choice for any projectile of 250gr to 320. None of those loads are max in my rifle.
