Ferndog1,

I bought IMA's reproduction Sten loader:

http://www.ima-usa.com/british-sten-lanchester-magazine-loader-box-type-new-made.html

It doesn't seem to work. It pushes the round all the way to the rear, but when it pushes the bullet down into the mag, I think it his the bullet too far back. It pushes into the rebate for the bottom rim on the cartridge, which it sort of looks like it might be designed to do, but by pushing so far to the rear on the round the nose pops up in the front and I can't load another round.

Maybe i got a bad one, I don't know. I figured I'd post and see if anybody knows anything since I am going to try to take the weekend to sort it out. Unfortunately, IMA Easton closed so I can't just drive down there. I'm going to go to Sarco in Easton and see if they have one (I doubt it) or can tell me if it seems like there is something wrong with it.

Any help would be appreciated.
