Or just put one up the spout and 3 in the magazine. I can't remember the last time I stuffed more than 3 in a rifle magazine when hunting. Seriously, I prefer the surety of reliable feeding that comes from a partially filled magazine over even a hint of unreliable feeding presented by a tightly stuffed magazine. But, I rarely if ever hunt with repeating rifles anymore so it's a moot point even with me.

Unless herds of kamikaze deer are attacking your position, it's a pretty rare instance where a guy needs high volume of fire. In my experience anything past the second shot is probably a Hail Mary shot anyway at a bouncing weaving animal, a shot I personally won't take. Please take this as tongue in cheek - to each his own, and spoken as a guy who believes a single shot rifle is the ultimate in sporting gear.
