Don't get greedy, put 28 rounds in a 30 round GI mag and you'll be fine.![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

I download to 25-26 and still have trouble getting it seated. It has more to do with technique than what's in the mag for me.

Thanks Matt. Corrected and re-posted.
I'm not sure its just technique. I had the same problem (among many others!) and closely checked both gun and mags when I got home. With a fully loaded GI mag and also some P mags there was way too much effort required to seat the mag. This effort did not decrease until the mag was about half empty (or full for you optomists). There was also way too much tension between the top round and the bolt, enough to cause it to stop when chambering a round as it was released by pressing the bolt catch.
I then brought out some ancient, well worn 20 round GI mags that I used for practice. NO problems. The full mags seated easily and there was no excessive tension on the bolt. Rob C suggested that the mag catch might be the problem as the mags may be sitting too high. I think he's right, thanks Rob, and I am ordering a couple of mag catches to experiment with.
PS Thanks to the NB crew for a great match. The "munchkin" targets were an excellent way to demand some precision shooting on short ranges. Maybe we can work them into the BUAS indoor matches. Hope to see everyone at the steel match on Sat.
