Hey I have several of these and looking for some advice. I have got quite used to being able drop ammo from my normal sporting rifles (mauser, winchester and remington), as they all have a button or such that can be pushed to drop the floorplate.
I have several BSA modified P14s that still have the original method of using the point of a bullet to do this.
I do have Roy Dunlap's book and it mentions a modification but I'm not really picturing what he is suggesting.
Dont want anything too major but they arent quite the same as a Mauser. I could knock one of those stud types up easy-peasy.
Picture of the 25-303 for reference. It has a rectangular slot and I suppose that could be extended.
Something from the memory banks tells me I read something years ago but cant seem to find what i was thinking about online
happy new year and cheers

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
