    Weird noobie question

    Hey all,
    I'm new to the sport so I'm still learning how to load my mags up.
    I bought a 25rd magazine for my 22 rifle, springs really stiff..

    I was wondering how easy it is to "crush" the primer while struggling to load it into the mag and blowing my fingers off?

    You won't crush the primer with your hand alone. Don't worry about it.

    Load it as full as you can and then leave it loaded for a week, that might help. Worked for a gun I had where I could only get 5 rds 9mm into the 10rd magazine.

    Thank you! So I'm assuming that is normal for me to not be able to load my Glock magazines without the speed loader? It gets very difficult after like 4.

    If all's well with the mag, it should be manageable to fully load it without too much difficulty.

    The more you shoot, the stronger your fingers will get.

    Yeah that is not uncommon, especially if they're new magazines.

    to answer your question, It would be insanely hard to be able to set off primer with your finder pressing on it. Load assured.
