It's is stupid because if you try to jam it in, it won't work. Sometimes when I try that the top part of the shell always hit the edge of the magazine tube. You have to perfectly some how load it right in the middle and fast. wtf?

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. You shouldn't try to jam the shell into the tube at all. Gently, and increasingly quickly, place it there. Search on youtube for how to hold multiple shells properly, then get to practicing. 10-15 minutes a day and you eventually might be able to load and shoot about one shell per second (as in, load 4 then shoot 4 in 4 seconds). It takes a lot of practice and the practice isn't particularly exciting, but I think it's worth the small investment of time in order to hone your skills.

My 870 Wingmaster does not have a problem with aligning the shells with the opening in the magazine tube. I just grab a shell and shove it in the magazine. What kind of shotgun do you have?

Practice makes perfect, so they say. So does using a double barrel side-by-side or over & under shotgun. Good luck
