How To Rapid Fire With a Single-Shot (Ruger No. 1, .45-120)

How fast can you fire follow-up shots using single-shot rifles like the Ruger No. 1? The answer might surprise you if you use the method shown in this video.

With four T-1 IHMSA steel targets set up to accentuate the shooting action, I demonstrate a method of holding extra cartridges in my support hand to facilitate quick reloads and how they are fed one after the other.

As a bonus, 4 shots are fired at the same targets using a Rossi Ranch Hand chambered for .44 Magnum, showing it's accuracy potential at moderate ranges.

Slow-motion replays of the targets when hit are replayed side-by-side for the two cartridges, to give the viewer a sense of the power differential. Quite fun to watch.
