I load 3 in and push down the top round to slide the bolt over and drop one on top for 3 + 1 in the chamber. I have been thinking about buying one of the carbon fiber stocks for myself but I already have several aftermarket stocks floating around my office right now for testing.
That is what I meant. I found it a little tricky to push down the rounds so I can slide the bolt over the top round and put the +1 in the chamber. Probably just need to change the angle which I was trying to push down the round. I didn't try loading in a fourth, I think the new blind mag from Jefferson Outdoors has a capacity of 3. If I take this thing deer hunting this fall, I probably won't bother with the +1. If I miss three times, I likely need to reconsider my hunting tactics.
I talked to a few of my cousins who have 100 yards available for shooting. I might get a chance to powder this thing's nose, get it on target, and run it over my chronograph soon, so I can work out the trajectory with Horandy SST and get a max point blank range figured out.
