Interesting. I gotta admit there are times where I have trouble getting the mags into my Mini-14. I don't tend to have too much trouble getting out usually.
I have been shooting the mini, my 10/22, and my ruger 77 for so long it's second nature on the reloads
I even switched out the magrealse on the 77 so it matched the other two.
The mini 14 and the rocking mag, is a pain for short mags for sure! But 10 and above is fine. It takes a few mags to get into the groove again
