Wow....300 posts...By the way, I carry hot, always have, always will...Hunted the west since I was ten for everything from chukars to Elk to deer from the Cabinets to the Gifford Pinchot to the Snake River and on down the Mogollon Rim Country in Az...I don't use guides so I don't have to worry about someone telling me to carry hot or cold...I don't usually hunt with anyone else...I wouldn't have a problem with chambering a round sometimes and would other times, but I am not gonna start wondering whether one is chambered or not...I'll just carry hot cuz that's what I am used to....Fact, everyone I have ever hunted with has carried hot....If you wanna carry cold, more power to ya, but it's just not for me...Good luck hunting...
