BSA,
It won't hold 5 cartridges, they're too fat.
I don't shoot any more than 3 with a hunting weight barrel,(don't have the patience to let it cool down between shots, and my nerves are prob not good enough anyway) and only shoot 3 to get my scope on target and to know what the gun is capable of.( I've come to the conclusion that most guns will shoot better than I'm capable of anyway.) After that I usually only shoot 1 shot at a time at different yardages, bounce back and forth between 100, 400, 300, etc., to make sure when I'm hunting that I can make the first shot count. Just gives me more confidence hunting. I shoot my HB .308 for targets, it's easier on the shoulder, and I'm not a fan of heavy recoil.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, just wanted agree with the OP that I think the FN 70's are good shooters. Although with the price of factory .300 WSM's mine probably won't get the chance to do it with store bought ammo.
Bob.
