I single load mine all the time when shooting around the house. Especially is im just testing different ammo. I have done this with several other brand of airguns as well. It will not hurt anything. I have also read that many who target shoot will single load and say that is allows you to seat the projectile better. I personally dont know anything about that because Im not one who gets into competition. I did just recently see a single shot tray for the EvoL somewhere online. Not sure where though.2 questions
Saw someone single loading an Evol without the magazine. Is that fine, won't blow out any orings?
This question is more about your opinion
Is the 15" Evol good for walking around and hunting? I have a Taipan Vet Long tactical, that while it is superbly accurate, it is also a bit too heavy (8.6 lbs unscoped per specs) and does not offhand well. Can be done but not ideal.
As far a weight and length of what you carry while wondering the brush I personally think it depends. My mini comes in at 31 inches with a DonnyFL Tatsu and the collapsible stock adjusted to preference. My Magnon comes in at 39 inches with a DonnyFL Ronin on it. Both seem to be fine. The HPS on the other hand is another story. That thing is pretty long. Also has a Sumo on the end of it so its about 4 inches longer then stock. I would still do it though. As far as weight. I never really worried about it. They all seem to have some heft to them. They are truly built for abuse though. They really are field tools that are designed to be reliable. There are lighter options out there but the difference never really concerned me. A pound or 2 is not much of a big deal. 5 or 10... Well.
