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 ?

Hi Alx:

Yes, it is a little tight when the action is closed. I only insert a loaded magazine when the action is open and the pistol is ready to fire.

Also, for shooting, I use a Meg-Gar or Interarms magazine, as these give me the best function.

The situation you fear, "snapping off the wood below the pin" is impossible, as the pressure is on the wood above the pin.
