Caldwell Magazine Loader for Multiple Calibers, Single and Double Stack, for Range, Shooting, and Outdoors

This gadget works as advertised. I was just a bit skeptical when I bought it. It works amazingly well. It’s a must have for Ruger 10/22 owners who do any amount of shooting. I recommend it to anyone needing

I couldn’t wait to get this after buying a 10/22 for my granddaughter to shoot. I have an old bolt action with 1 mag that her father learned on but I can’t find mags for it. So I just got this today and started loading mags. I put 1 22 in the mag before starting. I put 40 or 50 rounds in the hopper. I shook it slowly. I inserted the rotary mag and started turning the knob. You can feel the round being put in the mag. Each half turn loaded 1 shell. You can feel when the mag is full as you are turning the knob. It stops. I usually counted as the shells went in. A couple times, out of 200, it got a little stuck. I backed up a bit and then went forward with no trouble at all. After the mag was full, and you release it, 1 or two shells have to drop out of the chamber. Being in my mid 70’s, this is a hundred times easier than loading by hand. I think my beautiful granddaughter will like it too. I recommend this to anyone who has a 10/22.

I had to accept the fact that I am getting older. I can still load broken-in mags, but new ones present a bit of pain. I have the ironically named “Trigger Finger” problem in my right thumb, and that doesn’t help at all. With this loader, I load faster than I could with the non-mechanical kind. You just have to work with it for a while to figure out how it works best. I like that the magazine size adjustments are premarked for M9 mags, since it works best with different size numbers for the left and right sides. One of my pistols uses the same magazine I believe that reviewer Adrienne F. pretty much summarized what I think of the product. The item is plastic, but it is well-built and functions well, too. The instructions could be a little clearer. You have to make sure that the mag is seated all the way down, and that it is in there tightly. I had better luck inserting rounds with my left hand and squeezing with my right (I’m right-handed). I’m sure you could just reverse that for left-handers. I’ve included pictures of how I insert the rounds. I would recommend this for anyone who has trouble loading mags.

This is a gadget, not a real reliable tool for the purpose of loading magazines. I purchased a Ruger 10/22 and two additional 15 round Ruger brand magazines. When I got the reloading tool it took a about an hour to get it to work and load the 10 round and 2- 15 round clips. I put the Caldwell loader in my safe and just got it out yesterday to load some clips for target practice. I could not get it to load even one bullet. I tried to get it to work and so did m son, and it just won't work. DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY ON BUYING ONE OF THESE LOADERS.

Works great, easy to use, fast loading

I'm not completely satisfied, but will be keeping this speed loader. Pro: I get minimal jamming, with extremely smooth and fast reloading of all my steel magazines. Con: Nothing but issues with all nylon/composite mags. I tested this speed loader on a variety of calibers and types of mags, which included .380, 9mm, .40, & .45 acp.; Glock, Taurus, S&W, KelTech, & High Point. Brand, size, and style (single/double stack) of mag made no difference to functionality of speed loader. If it was a steel mag, it functioned nearly perfectly (I loaded approx 10 steel mags of varying sizes/calibers, with only 1 jam on a 15 round Taurus 9mm mag. Most likely user error.) I never got more than 5 rounds into a nylon mag (hard stop). I tried adjusting the bumpers to move there mag left and right, but never once got more than 5 rounds into a mag before it wouldn't allow more. I tried single and double stacks, mags ranging from 10 rounds to 33 round mags. Regardless of the capacity, the rounds would not feed and they started carving into the mag. Since this works so well with steel mags, which I have plenty of, it will get plenty of use. However, I'm disappointed that I'll still have to fatigue my fingers to I reload my nylon mags.

I have tried several types of autoloader and this one works as well as any of them.

Très pratique et de bonne qualité. L’utilisation est simple et rapide. Fini les pouces qui piquent. N’hésitez pas, l’utiliser c’est l’adopter.

As ordered

Oh boy where do I start, well first of all this isn’t designed specifically for any 22lr magazine. It would’ve been nice to know that from the start. Once you get the packaging it says right at the bottom that it’s designed for M&P 15-22 Mags. After a bit of modification you can make other mags fit as well. Another pretty annoying flaw is that when you try to press the button to remove the ammo stop, it can sometimes get jammed. Most of the time if you keep spamming the button it starts working again. If you are open to do a little bit of modification, it actually turns out to be a pretty convenient 22 loader. Just know this will only work on mags with a load assist feature. If the 22lr mag just has a spring and no assist it won’t load it since it relies on gravity to load.

perfect for the job makes it easy to load up your mag
