Loading Mosin Chargers
Original Russian Military Manuals tell how to load the Mosin Chargers. It is not Enfield style, with D-U-D-U-D so that the bullet tips have a bit of a "sawtooth" pattern.
The way to load Mosin Nagant chargers is D-U-U-D-D. That is, the first round goes against the back of the charger, the next round is loaded with the rim over the first round, the third round is again loaded with the rim over the second round, the fourth round is loaded with the rim underneath the third round and the fifth round is loaded with the rim underneath the fourth round ( as the first round with the face of the cartridge against the charger.)
This is more an inverted "V" shape or an "arrowhead" shape to the cartridge tips.
Unlike the Lee Enfield, the Mosin Nagant has an interruptor in the magazine that allows one round at a time to be isolated before loading into the chamber.

Enfield style, with each rim offset over the one below. Pay attention to which end you are shoving into the rifle though, otherwise it'll make for a headache.
