George, I had not given that much thought.....I always use a "dust cover" to hold the rounds securely in the magazine. But it stands to reason that this is another use for the dust cover besides protecting the feed lips .
If the winding lever is locked in place the rounds may shake loose and if it is released.. the rounds are under some pressure. Either way the dust cover is a good idea.
Never too late for an old dog to learn a new trick! Thanks!
