Exactly how would one load only 7 rounds into an M-1 Garand?

***Exactly how would one load only 7 rounds into an M-1 Garand?***

During WWII it was standard procedure among soldiers to eject a partially used clip and reload with a full 8 rounds.
Would not want to use five or six rounds, then later, during a firefight have to use the last two or three, then “ping” and have to reload under fire.
