As I said for the "100 rifle" owning man, the point of familiarity is already lost no matter what mini me's he has! Unless most are safe queens.

But it is a useful concept.

I have previously written teaching myself to shoot and reload a bolt action at the shoulder using a .22 RF and the actual centrefire bolt action. The point was not dropping the rifle between shots to work the bolt. 20 to 40 rounds through the .22, a few through the centrefire and fixed. Also easy to do again to reinforce.

I would think that for the "100 rifle man" most of his rifles are necessarily "safe queens." I have no problem with this. I have met gun collectors who don't shoot, who don't even own any ammunition. When I was a young hunter I thought this was absurd, but I have learned to respect their reasons for owning guns, even though they are very different from mine.

re:"The point was not dropping the rifle between shots to work the bolt."

To help with this I taught myself to never pick up brass after a game shot. I now always automatically and immediately crank another round into the chamber after my first shot, and the rifle does not leave my shoulder. The brass is ejected quick and far and I never look for it.
