I have a Savage 10FP .308 with the new centerfeed internal magazine. When I go to load my 5th round I have difficulty and I can’t help but think its user error. So I am left wondering what is the correct way to load my 5th round. Here is what is happening to me, I load the first 4 rounds with no problem. Next, I place the 5th round in the chamber and start to close my bolt which starts the ramping process of the round in the magazine (creating a jamming effect with the chambered round). The only successful way I have been able to load 5 rounds is to slide the 5th round into the chamber and manually depress the 4th round in the magazine down some with my thumb while trying to close the bolt with my other hand. I feel silly
having to ask but what am I missing?
