I was able to make Rifleman with my 10/22 at the November Appleseed in Harvard, so I want to give it a go with something a little bigger (specifically the Garand that I have on order from The CMP ).
As a big part of the program is safety, the transitions are supposed to be done unloaded. Obviously that is easy with a 10 round mag, but what is the best way to go it with 8 round clips? Is it strictly verboten to transition while loaded?
The instructions on the QDAQT state to load two for the start of each stage and reload with eight. I've never loaded a Garand, but I expect that inserting a partially loaded clip isn't as easy as a fully loaded one.
So, what is a Rifleman to do?
