When Loading M200 blanks into a magazine do they need to be seated to the rear of the mag like regular ammo or to the front to eliminated the possibility of short-stroking?

I ask because I fired some a few days ago and they seemed to feed more reliably when loaded to the front of the mag.  I got a few short strokes when they were loaded all the way to the back.

the no answer answer is "it depends"
Me and my buddies fired up about 1k worth of hollywood Swanson "hot" blanks and it did not matter if it was loaded all to the back or all to the front or all mixed up.

Some M200 blanks are equal to "cat farts" and don't cycle very well. If your planning on shooting blanks, I would go for the Swanson Hot Hoolywood blanks. If you get these, you MUST have the hot BFA or you will hurt your self.

The Hot BFA has a larger hole vs the .mil BFA.
Swanson Blanks

These Hot Blanks will cause a nice fireball and are LOUD! We made a cheesy home movie with them and they look great on film.

Couldn't tellya.  Other than in the military 30 yrs ago, I have never fired a blank in any gun.
