Good Post.
I would be hesitant to rely on an autoloader for HD purposes. Reason being, unless you take it out, use it and clean it, reliability suffers. Too esay to chuck it in a closet and forget about it until the time comes to use it.
I have my share of A/L scatterguns, my favorite being a sweet 16. Wouldn't consider it for HD.
But then, I was mostly a B shooter.
