For my style of shooting I find it much better to drop the rifle down a bit to reload then snap it back up again.

I don't look down at the rifle but keep my eye on the animal.

Fired cases almost always end up in my back pocket even when they are old and I want to get rid of them!
Just been puttin' 'em there for that long that it just happens without needing to think about it.

I find that you get a lot better controll over the bolt with the rifle lowered a bit, and this can be important if a case is a bit sticky coming out of the chamber or a fresh round is a bit tight coming out of the mag.

Also a bolt that works real slick at the shooting range might not be quite as smooth when it's covered in a layer of outback dust .

I also find it is much easier to keep track of an animal, partiularly in thick bush, by watching it with both eyes open using normal vision rather than trying to peer through the scope while your cranking a bolt at top speed.

But then I shoot with both eyes open either with scope or open sights and I make sure my serious guns fit me well, feed cartridges properly, and over the years I have spent many rounds practicing snap shooting.

Works for me!
