Ruger 10/22 speedloader

[simplegreen]

I love my ruger, but i effin hate loading it. Anyone have/use a good speed loader? And have recommendations of mags that work well with said speed loaders. Only one i've found that looks like its worth anything is the one pictured below and all I see is terrible reviews on it.

Shooters ridge is what I have and looks like what you posted. I have had it 8-9months and have loved it. I only loaded tactical innovation mags with it and it was a pleasure. Last time at the range I dropped it, probalbly about a dozen times it has hit the ground but this time it came apart, not broke, just came apart. I could not get the cam in the right sequence so I emailed them for some help and tehy said ship it to them and they will send me a new one. A+ product and customer service as far as I'm concerned. I have personally loaded 2500 + rounds with this loader.

I had one of them and it cracked in half and it sucked, the manufacturer also makes magazines that are garbage too. I have another one that is a shaded clear color that is awesome, tommorow I will dig it out and post what it is.

forget the speedloader, details on that quad stack magazine? lol


edit: ahh crap, dissapointment, just a dual stack and catching the reflection off the magazine spring making it look like there could be another stack or 2.

I've been happy with the butler creek loader and mags, you do need to occasionally squirt some powdered graphite in them to keep them running good, but they work just fine. If you take your time and turn the knob slowly, you can load up 25 and 50rd BC mags relatively quickly without jamming the loader up.

That's what I thought the second I saw the pic, it needs lube or it'll jam up. Silicone, molybdenum or graphite, I guess. Maybe Teflon would work too.

My Butler Creek loader must be a lemon - all it does is bend the rounds as it forces them into the magazine. To be honest I've not spent any time trying to diagnose why - I got frustrated and tossed it into a corner.

Any tips for making it work properly?
