Single round loading from a DBM

[Mark Walker in TX]

I am beginning a F-T/R & tactical competition rifle project and want to know from those who shoot them, how do you deal with single round loading in F-Class if your rifle has a DBM??

In particular, I am thinking about a Badger M5 DBM using the AI mags, and want to know if there is a special mag, follower, etc that will work, or if the AI mags allow easy single round loading?

I used a Scorehigh benchrest follower before in a Rem PSS with internal mag,BDL), and single round loading was perfect. Anyone ever tried this??

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Good question Mark

I will be doing the same thing with a Seekins DBM for the 7WSM. I hadnt invisioned having any issues, to be honest I hadnt thought that far ahead.
I also would be interested in reading any info or posts on this.

I have a 308 Rem SA with the Badger DBM, to single load I just place teh round on the lips of the magazine and close the bolt. Works great for me.

if you have a badger or AI mag setup you can call mak tube guns and they make a mag mag,i think plastic) this is a single round feed doesnt have the lips like the regular mags. i just ordered mine it was like 35.00.

good luck

I did go with a Badger/AI, and this is exactly what I was hoping to find, thanks a bunch!!!!

I have the badger ord set up on my Rem 700. The current ammo I am shooting is far too long to load into the mags so I am shooting all of them as a single shot. I just put the round in and they seem to self center them self on the top of the mag.

This also works with Seekins bottom metal & magazines in my experience.
