I am actually amazed at the large number of people that load bolt action rifles with hinged floorplates from the top.I have been loading through the floorplate for over 25 years and have never had a feeding problem.
I’ll be honest Stubble, I’ve never heard or considered loading from the bottom when having a floorplate. When I had my Remington 7 mm R M, it was always from the top. I’m going to have to try it when I’m hunting with my uncles and try it with his rifle.
