How many times do you really expect to have 3 shots of rapid fire while hunting deer? Recently I did that with the 220 Swift on running pigs and I was 67% effective, and I think I did it also one time last year (also 67% effective, with the 260). Doesn't happen much. Back when I was a kid and had that lever action Marlin in 35 Rem, I could and did really throw some lead. Shot a lot of deer, to the point that my brother said that if I didn't hold the deer shooting to one at a time, he wasn't going to help me drag deer again (pre-ATV hunting). That was back when a really hot barrel meant I was having about as much fun as a guy can have.
