Thanks for your input. However, I have never seen a failure to feed from a rifle push feed or controlled feed. I understand floks say it happens, but I have never witnessed it in 40+ years of hunting and shooting. In my experience-- this is one of those things folks argue about around the fire. I won't lose any sleep or degrade anyone for a push feed rifle. It's much more important that they place the first shot well with a sufficient round in my opinion.
