Research and busting the myth.

[Ridolpho]

This guy has the best technique I've seen on youtube- very fast. Some of the "mad minute" efforts are pretty sad with guys cranking the bolt like it's the gear shift on a 3T truck. I know it's not kosher (former) military practice but I would wonder if rounds/minute might not be maximized by starting with 4 or 5 full magazines and reloading the way J.P. Lee originally intended?
