Ultimate Clip Loader

WORKSW SPECTACULARLY WELL

I bought this loader to speed load my Ruger Mark II magazines for range target shooting. I currently have two magazines; the original Ruger magazine and a Mec-Gar aftermarket magazine. I saw a video on YouTube where this loader was demonstrated and I decided to get one since hand loading the 22 LRs into the Mark II mags is tedious. Filling the hopper and shaking them to get them lined up for mag loading worked really well. I expected the loader to then load the mags as well as it did in the video and I was really disappointed that I was having such difficulty. I got it to work a couple of times but normally the first round would hang up at the mag and prevent loading. After multiple attempts I was not having much success and was considering sending the loader back to Amazon for a refund. I'd read the TIPS section of the instructions a couple of times but really I had just glossed over it-how hard could this be? Then I decided to read it a little more carefully before condemning the loader. Under TIPS bullet point 2 (no pun intended) it covers bullets not loading into the magazine at all. So I read further and it said to make sure the bullets can drop into the mag freely. If not it said to spread the tips of the magazine to achieve this. I took an individual bullet and manually placed it on the magazine's front tips (pic included) and it took a little force to push the bullet beyond the tips and into the mag. It really wasn't much force at all, nothing you would ever notice when hand loading, but it was more than the force of gravity, which is all that pushes bullets out of the loader and into the mag (besides a little extra force exerted by the bullets stacked behind it). This was the case with both magazines. So I got a pair of pliers and spread the front tips until the round would freely drop into the mag. The original Ruger mag was made of much stronger steel than the aftermarket mag, and more difficult to bend. Once I was happy with the mag dimensions I tried the loader again and it worked perfectly. So the bottom line is I am happy with the loader after going through a learning curve. It will give me more shooting time vs. loading time when the clock is ticking down at the range.

A fast and easy way to load Browning Buck Mark magazines. I really like using it to load magazines. I wish it were easier to transport it with ammo. It is also all plastic, so I am worried about how long it will last.

This loader works well after I applied REM oil. Prior to that it was difficult to get a magazine loaded. Without REM the rounds stick and jam. It appears the material used to manufacture this loaded is not as "slick" as it needs to be without applying a lubricant. I also need to adjust the screw for my Ruger IV 22/45 so that the 10th round would load into the magazine. With this being said, after the lube and adjustment the magazines load in just a couple of seconds.

I bought this for my Ruger Mark III Competition and it works fantastic! What a time & thumb saver! However, if you don't hold it at the right tilt, it can cause your magazine to fill incorrectly, as I discovered at the range today. But that was operator error. It has a screw that can be easily adjusted in and out to tweak the fit for your particular magazine. Mine would only load 9 rounds of the 10 round mag reliably until I turned out the screw just slightly. Now it loads the 10 rounds (Mass) with incredible speed. I find it works best if I 'pulse' the magazine into the well a few times to ease the loading. Just make sure you hold it at the correct angle or you might find your rimfire cartridges loading in a funky way. (It's only happened once so far, with cheap Federal white-box target ammo, but, as I said, that was operator error.) It's incredibly easy to use, it loads magazines with lightning speed, and it just plain works. It's a little big but that's the one and only 'criticism' I have for it after using it about fifty times now. I wish they had something like this for 9 mm! I could spend more time shooting and less time loading magazines.

It works so well I was skeptical, but it works flawlessly. I’ve used all kinds of different 22 ammo in this it makes shooting so much more fun. I highly recommend this if you know anybody that shoots a lot of 22 this would make a great gift.

Can’t say enough how much I love this product. Nothing loads 22s faster.

Works as described!
