Can't lay me hands on the rest of that file at present but here's a couple of other images showing how the cartridges should align in the charger.

I remember being taught that aged 13 as a cadet, along with stripping and cleaning, I felt very proud as I went home and told my dad what I had learned that night.
Shot the rifle aged 14 at Kibworth ranges we were given 2 rounds each.

do you have to stack the rounds the same way as this when you are using a p14 as the mag is different ? :?:

A handy tip is get the chargers polished and nickel plated, they transform speed loading for service rifle competitions. I borrowed a couple of polished and plated ones for my P14 and was impressed at the difference it made.
