i dont understand what the question is? whats a tactical reload? please enlighten me.thanx
I don't know about your svp but usually (95%) of the time I can usually clear with a flick of a fingure or raising the gas port so no jams also you can cycle our "5 round" mags pretty quick with mosin clips

You're asking if anyone has put a loaded magazine onto an SVT-40 with the bolt fully forward?
That's the only way I load my SVT-40.
Is that what some people are talking about when they say a "tactical reload"?
I always assumed that was just considered loading a rifle.

Tactical reload:
Partway through a used mag, eject mag and rapidly re-insert new mag.

The only rifle you cannot "top up" with a new magazine, is the Garand and technically the new ammo is in a clip not a magazine. If you push the clip release catch on a Garand with the bolt open, it throws all the loose rounds and the metal pingy out into the mud. Then it looks back at you like a Labrador dog that just ate the sofa cushion.
And pocket the ejected mag in case needed later.
AAH! I've got it at last!
THIS is why guys are strewing the ranges with Number 4 magazines and grinding them into the mud and then #####ing eternally about why the d*mned things get the feed-lips bent: they are being TACTICAL. I have no idea why: steel plates don't shoot back. Come to think of it, this is why they borrow 4 mags off me for a match (after I have TOLD them over and over that it's much faster to reload with the Chargers) and then conveniently "forget" to give them back. This must be a "tactical acquisition of assets" rather than just plain theft.
Installing a loaded magazine on ANY rifle with the action closed is going to exert maximum stress on the parts, to the point at which the tiny aluminum latch and those flimsy little stamped-sheet-metal or injection-moulded plastic magazines will be all too willing to give up the ghost on you, spilling rounds all over the range. So you ##### to the tech officer and he tells the designers to "beef it up" and, in the end, you have a nice little 6-pound rifle which now tips the scales at 11 pounds before you even start in tactikooling the thing. Start this process with a real rifle such as an SVT and you could be in the Olympics, lifting weights, by the time the process is finished. New event: the 40-kilo SVT clean and jerk!
Reload with Chargers is fast and reliable although it may not be 'tactical'. It exerts the least distorting torque and compression on existing parts and, when the bolt comes rearward, it's not trying to fight its way past a high round in a magazine which wasn't fitted properly and thus had to be smashed into place.
SVT came out in 1940, at which time NOBODY (with the possible exception of the US, which was at peace) had the technology to produce 100%-interchangeable equipment which fitted tight. There were variations and those of us who use the old ones make allowances for these variations.
FWIW, you have to empty or eject partial clips on Mannlichers and Carcanos as well before reloading the Magazine.
BTW, I am looking at a Garand parts diagram and I can't find the pingy. Is it the special "movie clip" that holds 75 rounds and only runs dry when specific heroics are called for?
