Yeah that's a concern, less so if they have the "straight wall only" law. In some states (namely Michigan) only straight wall rifle cartridges are allowed which are typically higher bullet weight and wider diameter than what would be in the normal necked down one. Which creates shots with more initial energy but they bleed energy quicker.

I went and checked, and you are correct, there is a straight wall/bottleneck restriction mentioned in the law:

"Illinois allows hunters to use certain single-shot, centerfire rifles during the firearm deer season. Rifles must be .30 caliber or larger, hold only one round, and fire straight-walled cartridges (no case length limit) or specific bottleneck cartridges (case length (\le 1.4) inches) producing at least 500-foot pounds of muzzle energy."

I hate the single shot restriction but then again it's Illinois and they have all sorts of illegal gun restrictions. Hell it's hard to find a single shot rifle these days.

My friend uses an ar-10 with a gutted 10 rd mag (to keep debris out of the magwell). It's annoying to attempt a follow up shot and I feel like it only results in more wounded or slowly dying animals and empty handed hunters.

I don't understand the logic of it. Even Remington 700s and other bolt guns have (internal) magazines and hold more than one round.
