LOL If there WAS an 11 round mag for a Krag, it would certainly solve the reload problem for a Rapid Fire match!

Nope. See CMP Games Rule 4.4.4d -

4.4.4 Loading Procedures. . .
d)  Rapid-Fire, Manually Operated Military Rifles. After the command ON
THE FIRING LINE STAND…WITH BOLTS REMAINING OPEN…LOAD,
competitors must load five rounds  in the magazine and  leave the bolt
open  (do  not  chamber  a  round).  After  targets  rise  or  the  command
TARGETS  is given, competitors must get into position, close the bolt to
chamber  the  first  round,  fire  five  rounds,  then reload  five  rounds 
and complete the series within the time limit.

Well, I was really just being silly...  LOL

With the use of my chargers, I can actually load as fast, or faster than an 03A3 with a stripper clip!

The rule has relevance for competitors using Swiss rifles with 12-round magazines in Vintage Match. Not so funny to get DQ'd for skipping the reload! (Never know who's reading this stuff.)

There's a 12 round mag for my Swiss rifle???  And here I am - struggling through reloads like a chump!   Heehee  Cheesy

I would hope people read and understand the rules... but there are always one or two who break the rules and then cry "But I didn't know that!!!", hoping some line judge will take pity on them. 

Rapid Fire has always had a No Alibi rule, but a few years ago, a bunch of guys got one because one guy had a problem and screamed that he was NOT ready when the line was called ready.  Five other guys stood there and didn't fire because they were taking their cues from the one guy instead of the line call.  So....  they fired a second rapid fire for the 6 guys who didn't shoot the rapid when everyone else did!  It really boiled down to a combination of the guy not notifying the line judge he was having a problem... and the line judge not paying attention when he WAS screaming Not Ready!  I got the whole thing on video too (I was about 6 or 7 positions to the right of the guy)

Sure, if it's a Vetterli*, an 1889, or an 1896 that escaped transformation to 96/11.

*The Swiss Vetterli, being a rimfire for which no ammo has been made in many years, needs a modification waiver to allow centerfire conversion. Used mine in the first Springfield/Vintage Match some 17 years ago. Had the pits wondering what was making the big holes and odd "thunk" sound. Scored 270-5x. Next year, the wind blew me down to a 253 and I gave up on it.

No problem stuffing five rounds up the tube for a legal reload, though.
