Folks who hunt dangerous game prefer the controlled feed to the push feed. If you're dodging something with claws and teeth or big feet--all coupled with a Bad Attitude--you want the utmost in reliability in reloading whille you're stumbling around.

For the most common North American hunting, "Hit don't make no nevermind, nohow."

As a separate matter, the push-feed action more completely encloses the head of the cartridge case. For a reloader, this is a safety feature in case of too much enthusiasm as to how max is a maximum powder charge.
