The pz-1/p system is pretty close to that, and only fails if you do not pull the leader across the sprocket far enough. It is generally very reliable, and it is operator error that results in a failure to load rather than the loading system.

IIRC, there were 3 in total, the Freedom III, the Freedom DL and I think the Maxxum 5000 used it too. It was the best answer I saw to the complaint about 35mm being hard to load from when I was doing the APS pre-development surveys. William Robb
