The gate is not a problem; its getting past the mag tube spring tension and getting the meplat past the entrance to the mag tube. I've taken 6 coils off the mag tube spring and its still sticking out the tube about 8" before capping it - seems like overkill. I'll get to the trigger after solving the loading challenge. Oh, should mention, there was no sign of leading from the CB loads so .358 seems good.
