feeding singleshot

[CouldBeWorse]

I'll be sure to push into the magazine on the M1917. I guess I had just gotten used to placing the round into the chamber on 22s, and never thought about it.

That brings to mind, when single feeding an AR-15, should I be trying to push a round down into the magazine there too? (sounds like a good way to lose a finger).

Just drop 'em in. That's how all the rounds are chambered- the extractor doesn't engage the rim until the round is in line with the bore- No opening on the bottom of the recess on the bolt face. Different design altogether.
