My loader arrived this afternoon but I am working 350 miles away in Philly. When I get home Saturday I will have something to play with. I will let you know how it works out.

thats great dik,,
wait untill you try the new tube design its even better..
all of you have helped make a even better product from the cap to the packaging,, i cant say how this beta tester idea has helped the development of this!!!
im curious ,,i know from my own preference,
would you load your 10 rnd by hand or use the loader?
i know that after using the loader loading the 10rd by hand still sucks, and look for the loader every time!

opinions?

The new brass updated tube and angle on the mag "holder" are PERFECT. ZERO issues and loads rounds great. I can VERY highly recommend this loader. It also staggered the rounds when following the directions. Nice simple design that works great !!!

I'm not bashing the product at all since it will help someone out there but there are quicker ways to hand load a mag. I timed myself at 57 seconds at a normal pace by doing:
1. I was pulling the rounds out of a bulk box and not a plastic carrier as shown in the video above.
2. Grabbed a couple at a time.

I'll definitely invest in this product when the arthritis kicks in.
 
I did that when I had 2 mags. Now with 14, no thanks. Got it yesterday and waiting to unload the mags to test it properly.

Ya know, that was the best advertizement for the loader, well done. Split screen with the loader side twiddling his thumbs while non-loader side finishes would rock. (sorry, got carried away... ;) )

I'll have to pull the mac out and do that! Just did something quick with my tablet. :-)

No thumb twiddling but I took your suggestion and made this:

Slickloader VS Handloading side by side - YouTube

Chris, feel free to post this video as you like, least I can do for saving my thumbs and hours reloading.
 
Received my Mk-II loading-tube assembly (thank you, Skunk), and grabbed a magazine at random from the safe and began testing. The new little tab on the tube certainly helps with positioning, MUCH easier to find the "sweet-spot" for proper bullet-flip. On the other end of the process I seemed to have more trouble with rounds going vertical in the magazine this time, with the accompanying removal twaddle and vocabulary exercise. I'm pretty sure I must be doing something wrong with either the angle I'm holding the apparatus or the depth I'm holding the follower. It is my belief that this is a personal problem rather than a product defect since I can sometimes go many rounds without a bad load, then have several misfeeds in a row. Now, after the first five rounds are inserted in the S&W mag I have to use the follower push-stick from a Plinker mag since my arthritis prevents me from using my fingers on the standard buttons, so I believe it's my faulty technique that is the cause of my trouble. I have yet to test it with any of my other magazines but since I'm heading for an outdoor range to zero-in a new scope this next week I should have plenty of opportunity for field testing. I remain deeply impressed by this device.

seems like the rounds are sliding in and down to early and not sliding all the way to the back of the magazine untill the primer touches the magazine,,, try tilting the unit at more of a angle to assist the rounds to slide all the way to the back of the magazine..
 
I just opened and tried out my new loader. It's so easy to use, I am going to have my wife try it. :rolleyes: My PT mags loaded just as easy as my s&w 25 rd mag. I can't say anymore than what the others have said. Great product Chris. Thanks
 
I just got the brass tube version of the slickloader, and had my brother time me at 58 seconds on the second try with a twenty-five rounder! This is truly a great product for the 15-22! Thanks, Chris!

You are slow. It takes me just a tad over a minute to load a 25-round magazine manually. :)

nice thanks,, and you will get it down to about 20sec in time!!!

do you like the new cut design..?
 
I love the new cut design! No problems whatsoever. The shells tumble in primer first, and they feed much smoother than my aluminum tube. Unlike some others on this thread, I don't have any need to sit and watch others shoot while I do the reloading for them, so my load time is not as fast as others. I just reload when I've got empty magazines. However, it is one-hundred times funner with the slickloader!
 
Hey Skunkwerkz
This looks good, if I wanted one can you ship this to England ?, this would test your International packaging material at least.

What payment methods would you accept ?

Hey I could be your International Distributer

no over sea shipping yet due to uncertain laws regarding weapons accessories,,,i am checking on the legal aspect and will post on the web site ,,available location in the future..
 
Skunk,

Got mine today! Was able to look at it briefly, but not enough to get the hang of it. Of course I didn't watch the video.:o Still is pretty slick!
 
Wanting to be somewhat of an expert tomorrow at the range, I unloaded a few of the S&W 25-rounders with the GRIPP Tabs on which to practice. And practice. I stumbled across a discovery. I think that the tabs give the ideal tip-angle when loading the magazine. Just put the mag on something flat. It's a no-brainer this way, and no guessing if you have the correct angle. The loader works really smooth every time! Any others used this method?

Not exactly, but your post helped me improve my loading!

dont be afraid to give the tip a little tweak either side to side or up or down to improve the flow in to the magazine..ounce adjusted the rounds should just flow perfectly slick. im going to try to post a adjustment video to help with the adjusting part,, i hand make each one and test them all but i have had several people say they cant get it to work properly.. mostly due to my ummm mfg skills

I found that putting the brass tube under the lips of the mag and making sure it's on a flat surface improved function for me. No worries...still lots for practice on my part...
