Ha ha I just tried and INDEED CAN BE DECOCKED with a pellet in the barrel then not double load the next round. The magazine won't move no matter how many times I tried to decock and load a double load!!!

Just did it purposely trying to double load and decock with pellet in the barrel and it wouldn't no matter how many times I tried to intentionally do it.This has got to be the most well thought out system I have ever seen!!!

The mechanism is reset when the trigger is pulled and the hammer is sent on it's way.
That's how it "knows"

I feel SO STUPID taking the magazine out all this time even knowing well in advance it has an anti double feed! I just thought it was only for in case you accidentally double cock in the field and not for decock!
Thanks for the making me see the light!

Curly you had it 99% cocked,,just a little more and the trigger would have latched,,,,you are just a little unsure for 1st time user
you said,,,It felt as if there was a big spring holding it back from full reward travel. The magazine center pin retracted as it should, but the pellet insertion pin was not coming back far enough to insert the magazine. What could cause this to bind like this?
the answer is: the hammer spring,it is a stiff spring, springy resistance is normal, as long as you still are feeling the springy resistance you are ok

. . . Taipan marketing should contact @yo
Their next marketing / advertising campaign might say something like this:
"This gun and feature set is SO good, it is Yo approved!!"

OK,
Lowering hammer spring tension 1/2 turn was the trick! I am sure that I was also a little hesitant to pull the cocking lever too much also. Rifle is functioning perfectly and cycling. Now to pour some lead down the barrel and get myself used to the trigger, which breaks quite nicely! first five shots with my Athlon Midas BTR consistently low about 10 MOA and to the left about 2 MOA at 10 yards. Going to zero at 25 yards and start getting data on POI out to 60-65 yards(my limits in backyard). Does 25 yards sound like a good starting point to set zero given my confinements? It is a 25 cal if I didn't mention that earlier. A big thank you to all that gave input! Sincerely appreciated!
Oh and quite quiet with the DonnyFL Sumo as well! The pellet impact made more sound than the rifle! Very happy and I hope the neighbors will be too!

One caution regarding the Anti-double loading feature of the Taipan Veteran, don’t ask how I know...I just do.
In a hunting situation I was on the way out of the woods walking back to my vehicle. Noticed a squirrel running the limbs in a tree, but could not get the crosshairs settled for a shot....Squirrel just disappeared! As they are so good at in the wild. Anyway after several minutes I de-cock and continue to my vehicle, it’s the last pellet in the mag, which is now in the breech. At vehicle while taking off hunting coverups etc. got a phone call...removed the mag, packed my gun in its case and drive home. A few days later got the gun out for some target practice and loaded mag with pellets, inserted and cocked the gun pushing another pellet in the breech on top of the one left after the recent hunting session. I did notice that I needed a little more force and realized what had happened. To clear I de-cocked, removed the LCD and shroud, and fired them out down range.
The resolution is to just leave the mag in the gun as an indication that there may be a pellet in the breech, aim in a safe direction and fire. I hope this is helpful.
