Brandon,
Best bet is to follow the directions and use some leader film (or else 
some old 35mm stock that you find on ebay).

Check out the how-to for loading the film:

My general rule of thumb, or in this case "finger", is to use my 
pointer, errr... pinky, finger - seriously, it's a long story... Don't ask.

And then here for mounting the mag to the camera:

The long and the short of it all - you will definitely want to get some 
leader and practice, practice, practice.

Cheers,
