magazine loading problem

IMHO, the original Imperial magazines I have on hand are not happy when stuffed with 8 rounds, resisting insertion due to lack of further compression space when the top round is pressed against the bolt in the gun.
Especially with an original wooden-bottomed magazine, why "press" your luck and risk snapping off the wood below the pin, with an eighth round ?

There are other simple magazine loading tools, of the box sort, that can be adapted and used besides the elegant original ones.
