Mag operating question...

I purchased one of the reproduction loading tools a number of years ago. It really didn't work very well for me. I got to looking at it, and found that the back(the side going against the mag body) was not totally flat. I placed the tool on a flat plate covered with 220 grit W/D sandpaper and made it flat. Viola, a perfect working tool. I shoot my 06/73 Mauser often, and those mags have a "killer" mag spring to depress. It gets the job done for me. Different strokes!!
