Jeff �

There is nothing pussified about hunting with a cold chamber. Frankly, when someone is behind me I much appreciate that they have a cold chamber � not because the risk of a hot chamber is high in absolute numbers but because the risk with a cold chamber is absolutely zero.

�Slightly greater�? Compared to the zero risk with a cold chamber, the risk with a hot chamber is INFINITELY greater.

For my purposes, I�ll continue to hunt hot or cold depending on circumstances. If I miss an animal as a result no big deal.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
