Just curious have you tried with a different mag insert?Na
just tried it again
I can just about do it with a great deal of force but not quickly
it is not for me
It may. Honestly I don’t know. I don’t own one. YetI have yes
I’ve never been able to top load .223 or 6.5 x55
After the video posted just now I tried the 404 and gave it ‘a bit more wellie’
I could do it - just - but I’d not be confident reloading that way under pressure
Top loading a Mauser 98, for example, is pretty much effortless
perhaps the insert loosens up with a few repetitions?
It doesn't require a lot of force. The rifle in the video is a 458 Win Mag, with a new magazine insert. So, the geometry of the 404/ultra mag magazine should be very similar in regards to the force it takes to load it.I have yes

I will admit that the first time I did it, I was apprehensive. It's not a like a CRF Mauser...of course nothing about the Blaser R8 is like a CRF Mauser aside from the fact that they both shoot bullets. After top loading the R8 a few times it becomes normal.I shall persevere
