    I've loaded the chargers both ways staggered and in the one direction had probably 3 rim overs one in a speed shoot just a quick push down and a little nudge up and away again !

    A few tips given to me at the time by shooters who had long standings with the Lee Enfield systems;

    1. Go through your chargers and sort them into ones that load and strip freely without hangups keep these ones for your competitions ones that are hard to charge and hard to strip into the mag keep them for range practices.

    2. When the last round leaves the last charger ever so slightly move your thumb towards the front (This takes practice but is achievable if I can do it you can) it's only a fraction but what your ensuring is your thumb not moving backwards and possibly inducing a rim-lock situation.
    If you practice it enough it becomes muscle memory just like training over & over you do it without thought sadly I am way out of practice but still remember it.

    Then I developed my own style in speed shooting with bolt cycling at speed this is how I went may not work for you but did for me.

    3. When after firing (I used the traditional grip) I released my bottom fingers from the wrist keeping the weapon into my shoulder with sling & pressure from my front hand I would leave my cheek on the butt keeping it there as I lifted the bolt but before I pulled it to the rear to eject the spent case I rolled the rifle on my shoulder to the right an an inclined angle.
    Keeping my head still in place without the rifle still looking at the target reef the bolt to the rear ejecting the case then as I started to push the bolt forward roll the rifle back to my cheek as the bolt almost into battery then grip the wrist again as the handle comes down, same cheek weld, same target eyes open all the way and repeat.

    I did 25 rounds in a minute with a rim over I had to sort out so that spannered it a bit but with practice you can get them out faster, some use the middle finger on the trigger I know that but my way still has you gripping the wrist in the accepted manner.
