Only the central shaft part with the little red dots on it makes a tight revolution and it is very easy to miss this when shooting action. The outer knob stays put. Also, having to pull out the spool to reset the M3 frame counter makes this load gadget somewhat less than quick when used on the M3. It's really best for long-time M2 shooters who are used to having to reset frame counters. Emanuel Lowi Montreal
