  1. The rifle may be ambidextrous but your kit arrangement is not. Your time was slowed by your keeping the ammo on your weak hand side and having to keep reaching there with your weak hand instead of your trigger hand. Load from your left side and your time will improve. It is a shame most of the MH rifles (possibly all of them) were made with low carbon steels and the caliber options are so few (.577/450 or .303). If they were made stronger with a Mauser head dimensioned bolt, they would make a great 7mm, .308, or .30-06 single shot rifle/carbine.
