Guys, I suppose my real question is whether it's prudent to chamber a round in the M70 CRF action without pushing it down into the magazine. In other words, is it okay to toss a round into a M70 CRF action and close the bolt on it, or will extractor damage likely result eventually?
As a follow up question, in order to have a chambered round and be ready to shoot, would you load 3 in the magazine, and then chamber one...leaving only two more behind it; or would you load 3, push them down under the nose of the bolt, and then load a 4th, closing the bolt on it and having the extractor engage it only after the bolt is closed fully. This would, of course, leave 3 rounds in waiting behind the chambered round.
Perhaps a "duh" question for most of you, but something I've always wondered the "proper" answer to.
Thanks!
