multi or single shot

[hankook1]

Hi, just wondering why it is some people prefer a single shot mag saying its more accurate, how do this work as surely the pellet is seated into the breach by the bolt/lever so Why would  this make a single shot mag give a tighter grouping , am I missing something here !

I have a Logun Axor multi shot and superbly accurate.

Less to go wrong with a single shot I would  think. Only multishot I would like to own would be a theoben slr gasram 👍

But I was asking why some people seem to think a single shot is more accurate,reliability doesn't come into it for the life of me I really can't see how it would make Any difference someone must know 

[clangerman]

some claim it’s the chance of pellets be being damaged  feeding in from the mag can’t see it myself a quick second shot is the difference between two birds down or one so no brainer for me multi shot every time 

[B725]

My personal opinion is that it doesn't make any difference I don't see why a single shot is more accurate.

I would personally say that the flaff of single shot loading made one take more time and care on the shot, and at the same time one tended to opt for single shot loading when one wanted to be more careful on a shot

I have shot the Steyr Pro X semi auto and it is just as accurate shooting from a mag as a Steyr single shot if you take your time

But of course it's such fun that you don't

I'm guessing it's, as has been said, the chance of clipping a pellet on loading. 

In HFT it's a faff using a multi shot as you have to remove it between lanes.

Never had a problem even 28 shot mags

I know one of these ' some people' who says prefers a single shots system to a mag.

The truth is he bought a used S200 with a single shot ramp and is too tight to buy a mag.

So now when asked, he lies through his teeth, stating they're more accurate to justify his decision. 

If the mag is aligned as it should be, in my experience there is no difference.

Multi shot ,simply because i can get a second shot off quickly if the first only wounds what ever i'm shooting .

 

[Ultrastu]

Single shot if I'm shooting hft .

Single shot if I'm teaching new shooters 

Multishot if I'm hunting (but a single will also do ) 

Accuracy    ..... er ......  I have to admit my most accurate sub 12 pcp is a single shot ,and is my competition  gun ,but  I have some VERY accurate multis too .

 

if your main shooting discipline was hft or ft.or bench rest then you wouldn't really even consider a multi shot gun .

I have single shot devices , for both my multi's(BSA Scorpion and HW110 , but I hardly ever use them. I have used the BSA one for shooting .22 JSB Beasts at short range.

but not used the HW110 at all.
