Sorry guys, really wanted to have some fun with the G.
1100 yards is longest distance. Most are going to be closer in.

This doesn't make sense. Why would you need up to 20 magazines? The bolt gunners will mostly have five shot repeaters and must reload by hand as well. Or they must need up to 20 magazines as well if their bolt rifle uses a detachable magazine. If you give it a try you will find it faster to hand load a magazine and insert it into the rifle than hand loading five individual rounds into a short action bolt rifle that has an optic further restricting access to the magazine.
