Unfortunely this good grip causes at least the extra step of pushing the cartridges into the chamber so that the blade clears the belt of the 458wm. About 40% of the time the push is needed. Worse, every so often, maybe one in twenty or thirty, a gentle push doesn't send the cartridge home and it takes more push, or, due to my fear of mucking things up, a slight twist of the cartridge to get the belt to clear the blade. This is slow and awkward.

That little ejector (nipple) is spring-loaded (some guns have two on each ejector), and as you slide the cartridge into the chamber, you have to depress the ejector nipple with the side of the cartridge case as it's entering. No, it's not as simple as dropping one in the chamber, but that's the trick to chambering a belted case.
