I always hold a loaded round in my hand, between my palm and the forearm of the stock when Hunting, and find it does not impede on anything, and can do a follow up shot almost if not as fast as a mag fed shot, to many times I try to cycle it to fast in the heat of the moment, and it gets caught up and jams or wont feed for what ever reason, that after cycling 100 times in a row at the range, go figure, I have come to a point that I almost single feed all my shots now out of habit, I am sure all those sharp shoulder angles that most if not all of my cases have don't help in my feeding woes.
