Just saw this thread and couldn’t pass it by. The DC has some value to keep the action debris free. But I’ve actually used the FA some and entirely on the range. I reload and although I check every round with a shell gauge, every once in a while the case mouth is a little bit bigger than spec and the bolt won’t completely close. I’ve used the FA to push the bolt closed and continue my shooting. It also reminds me that I have to tighten up my case selection and reloading procedures when that happens. But I’ve used it and it has it’s place. I have and shoot a Garand and understand the op rod handle can be used to close the bolt but actually have never encountered that on a 30-06 cartridge. I’m older so my TO weapon was a 1911 when I was in the Navy. When I started reloading, I didn’t have a 45 ACP shell gauge so I had to push the slide closed on a lot of my reloads that were not right. Live and learn!
