No love for single shots?
Single shots are fine- until you need 2 shots in a charge….
Charges never happen, wait Mike Fell may disagree right now.
After my first hunt I always carried a double hunting DG, a tracker carried a 375 bolt gun which was used from time to time. On my fourth safari I hunted leopard with Shaun Buffee. We had one on bait, good daylight, and I put a good shot through it with a No 1. The cat fell off the branch but hung on to the bait, its jaws were clinched shut. Shaun yells shoot it again. My spare bullet is in my shirt pocket because after all you never get a second shot at a leopard. After a good impersonation of Barney Fife and the exhibiting the reloading skills of a spastic monkey, the leopard fell without receiving another shot. Thankfully it was dead at the bottom of the tree.
