1. With the “safety” in the
intermediate position, lift the
bolt handle and pull the bolt
completely rearward.
2. Remove the detachable box
magazine from the rifle by pulling
the magazine release latch
rearward (Figure 18). Let the
magazine drop into your hand
(Figure 19).
3. Place the base of the cartridge
on the magazine follower
between the lips on the
magazine body and the lips on
the magazine follower. Press the
cartridge down with your thumb
until it can be pushed rearward
under the lips and push the
cartridge fully to the rear of the
magazine so there is maximum
clearance between the bullet tip
and the front of the magazine
body (Figure 20). It may help to
push the rear of the follower down
a bit with the thumb of your other
hand to facilitate sliding the
cartridge back under the
magazine body lips. Take care
that the bullet tips are pointing
to the front of the magazine.

with your thumb until it snaps
into the magazine (Figure 16).
3. Press each succeeding
cartridge into the magazine
in the same manner.
