Title: When using pellets.....
Post by: vern96 on August 24, 2011, 01:01:58 PM: G' afternoon-

Newbie here,.... Its obvious I am about to shoot a ML for the first time....

When you load your bullet on top of the pellets, how do you ensure that you don't crush the pellets? (as the mfg and others suggest you don't do).... Will you know that you have the bullet seated as far as it should go?

TIA-
Phil
