Re: To eject or not. That is the question!

I must say I like ejectors - I can reload my non ejector 375 Flanged just as fast as my ejector rifles by turning the rifle upside down as I open it, just like I can release the automatic safety on some of my rifles "automatically" when shouldering my rifle, but sometimes I stuff up. A DG rifle should minimise the chances of a stuff up, and, if you do stuff up should minimise the risk of it killing you.

Regarding the third shot being by someone else - on my one and only DG hunt (Cape Buffalo) we followed up a wounded bull and found it down but not out in thick jungle. My 470 doubled and I wasn't sure I had hit it and was really glad of the ejectors (and abscence of automatic safety) when I had to reload and follow up as my brain was a bit more addled than usual by the four times increased recoil. My PH was, at the time, otherwise engaged covering the wounded bull's mate, who was located 25 yards away, quartering behind us and threatening to charge. It sounds dramatic but it was over in less than 10 seconds with a good result despite two unexpected problems, a second buff threatenning to charge from behind and the 470 doubling.
