Steve Annapolis - ------------------------------ Steve, I tried a rapid load kit once, and it was more trouble than the standard M3 loading. I never could trust it the first time. Once you're used to it, I think the regular way is better (you have to pull the spool either way to reset the counter, so what's the advantage?). Alan M-R
