    This is why bullets should be facing front. does anyone else put their rifle magazines bullets front for the same reason? i know some people like bullets back on rifle mags because ‘beer can grip’.

    Good info, but I can’t help but point out that this was state of the art technique ca. 1988 or earlier. That it needs to be repeated on a regular basis is a bit discouraging.

      You may be forgetting the fact that new shooters happen every year. This may be new info for them. I remember being there once and having to figure it all out by trial and error. I would have much rather had someone to show me the basics.
