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.

I watched a representative doing a demo of the product. She held the reloader differently than the other utube video reviews. The "other" video reviews were hit or miss. Worked sometimes, but jammed up others. When I tested following how the rep demonstrated, I loaded 3 10 mags, very quickly without any issues. Maybe the trick is hold the charger with the mag downward, pointing straight down. Manually load round 1, then use the charger, with mag facing down - mag in natural shooting position. The mag loader is then at a slight downward angle so the rounds slide down the z path. I used this exactly like the reps video, worked flawlessly. Far better than the "reviewers" video clips. One of the few items that worked better than expected.

I bought this loader and the Uncle Mike's/Butler Creek loader strictly for the 10/22 rotary magazines. Of the two, this one is much thicker plastic and feels more sturdy. I am handicapped by the loss of my right hand, so I was looking for a faster way to load my 10/22 10, 15, and 25 round magazines. This loader employs a T shaped loading knob so it is easier for me to use, I can hold it in my left hand and turn the knob with my right arm. Those are the good features. It does not have a bullet stop or any way to prevent the cartridges from feeding through the loader. Therefore, you have to have a magazine locked into the loader before you place any bullets into the hopper. You can not dump 100 bullets into the hopper and then load multiple magazines. If you do, most likely a cartridge will slide into the magazine well and jam everything up. Each magazine has to be locked into the loader with no bullets ready to be loaded, then the bullets added to the hopper, the bullets shaken and aligned nose down in the feed groove, and then begin inserting bullets into the magazine. Keep track of the number inserted into the magazine because this tool is capable of denting the side of of the last loaded cartridge case when the magazine is full. Empty the cartridges from the hopper and feed groove before you take out the loaded magazine. I load the first round into every magazine before I finish loading the rest of the cartridges with this machine and this reduces the force needed to load the remaining cartridges into the magazine. Do NOT force the handle, if the handle does not turn easily there is a jam that needs to be cleared. Of the Caldwell loader and the Butler Creek loader. the Butler Creek loader is less hassle to use. If Caldwell puts a cartridge stop in the feed groove, so only one cartridge is allowed into the loading arm at a time, this would be a great machine for what it was designed for. As it is, it needs a little more work.

This loader is made well and can do most bullets. I tried loading dummy bullets into a new magazine, but it did not work for those. However, it is supposed to do different size caliber. I got this for the hubby for his weapon that is a 10 caliber. Very well constructed and average to use. He likes it. Read the write up information and read the reviews.

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
