Works for me i have a t3 aswell as older m695 and rem 700s and can load them all very quiet.

Bang on. I can load mine in ralative silence with this method, tiny bit of a scraping sound as the brass slides into place but no clunking.
I also think that the T3 has a very quiet safety, as apposed to my mod 7 tang which is quite loud.
