Works like a charm!  Thanks for the info!

Before I saw this, I was spending 10 to 15 minutes loading the miserable thing
because it kept getting hung up on the pressure plate.  Now, with the leader
trimmed correctly, it loads just as fast as the M3 (about 30 seconds; I'm not
in the 15 second league yet).
