Hi Stuart,

Very good question.  I have always been of the opinion that Benchrest specifically required single load only (no magazine use).....  

But I am now reasonably familiar with both rule books due to the combining and new rule book process.....and I am fairly sure that it is not specifically mentioned in either book.  It may be in IRB for rimfire, but that is not applicable to the Fly.

Which would allow one to load a magazine and shoot from that in theory I guess, magazine would have to be loaded after the commence fire is given.

Maybe someone else knows where or why we do not allow magazine feed in Fly ?

To me there is no real advantage as a single shot action is generally more accurate than a magazine operated one anyway. Not to mention hand loading each round reduces opportunity for damage to the projectile on the way from the magazine to the chamber.

But, we need to either add a rule specifically excluding it, or just allow it..... I suggest leave it alone and allow it, but am interested to hear other opinions.

Cheers

Anthony
