I see the statement of the Krag rifle being the only one capable of being loaded with a cartridge in the chamber is false. Maybe should have said, the only one I know of. I know from sheer common sense that magazine fed weapons can be loaded with a round in the chamber. As well as tubular magazines. As I own a winchester 1894. As well as many shotguns. How I meant it was, without any removable parts (like a mag), the Krag is the only rifle I know of. My remington 700LH has the trapdoor mag, loaded from the open bolt, not a magazine. My model six, of course is a pump with a magazine.

I noticed someone said they have a Stevens 325, I have a Stevens 325B, What would be the cause of a feeding problem with that rifle? I can load the first and third round ok, but the 2nd always jams, damaging the projectile. In turn making it extremely inaccurate. Was the 325B made only to fire FMJs?
