Push and hold the button in while you push on the bottom plate with the screwdriver. That will allow the air to escape through the tip.

I use a different method that eliminates the air pockets but you can't be afraid to get a little greasy. You remove the top, then take your screwdriver and push the plunger all the way to the top. Yes the top, not the bottom like in this video. Then take it and push the cylinder straight down into your can of grease til the plunger bottoms out. Then wipe off the grease from the outside and scrape it back into the can.. Yeah it's messy but that way it is completely full with no air pockets.

I just tried this - yes, it's effective, and yes, it's messy! I recommend wearing rubber gloves if you're going to do this, and you can degrease the outside of the cylinder with alcohol.

Motorex sells these Dualco guns, with long nozzles, under their own name. They also sell grease (I have their Fett 2000, Fett 3000) in 850 g tins (looks similar to the tin in this video) which have this (removable) plastic ring on the inside with a hole in the middle that is slightly smaller than the opening in the grease gun. The filling procedure is basically the method you describe, but because the plastic ring pushes down on the grease all around, the grease only goes up the grease gun, and there's practically no mess. One could probably DIY such a ring from a suitable piece of plastic. Video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/wqhrtqiHhJGhlG0si=fWZDDrZyaQG4uRRL&t=80
