With your illustrated technique, what happens when the front of the belt hits the flat plate of the extractor?

The belt simply slides past the extractor, with no effort. If you don't depress the extractor when chambering a round, some cartridges "stop" at the extractor and require a "push" past it. The latter is typically the true with minimally resized cases... FL sized and factory cases enter with no additional effort. that's kinda wordy... make sense?
