I would like to have a Remington Hepburn too!I'm about to pick up a single-shot lever action - simply because I don't have one... .
How many lever action hunters fill their tubular magazines to full capacity at the beginning of each deer hunt.
I’ve thought about a number of things if only one round were put in the magazine
1. Less forward weight
2. Ability to use pointed projectiles
3. Less projectile tip damage
4. Less effort to unload after each hunt to make rifle safe at end of hunt.
5. You may have more/ different reasons
I’m just curious
Thanks
I had a very nice BLR, one of the originals made in Belgium, also in .308. Thought it was the perfect woods gun.I load my Browning BLR box magazines with four pointed rounds, each, of .308 Winchester, because a box magazine is compatible with pointed bullets, and four is all they will hold. (BLR mag capacity varies, from thee to five, depending upon the cartridge dimensions of the individual rifle.)
I did not grow up in a family that hunted, or used firearms, so, I had no family tradition to follow, when I became an adult, and started buying lever rifles. Therefore, tube magazines held no allure, for me, when I became interested in lever-action rifles.
Don't have to be pistol cartridges, any straight wall cartridge from a minimum of .357 to a max of .50.In Ohio rifles in pistol cartridges are allowed for deer hunting. Limit is 4 rounds.

I suppose that qualifies as a single shot lever action.
