Mag loader

[Velle]

I went to the LGS and bought 200 rounds of 5.56 and saw a Caldwell Tac 30 mag loader and had to have one. It makes short work out of loading 30 round mags and saves wear and tear on these old thumbs.

They work well. As with all my other loaders, it doesn't take all that long before I find myself loading magazines the old fashioned way.

I've had a loader for a few years now, but I haven't even taken it out of the package. Since I don't shoot my AR very much, I can hand load the mags just fine without one.

I figured since not too many talk about them there wasn't much love for them but they sure do make loading 30 rounders easy on the thumbs.

I've never used one, but they might prove useful if you were loading many magazines at one time. Comparatively, .223 AR magazines are about the easiest of magazines to load.

I get those cracks on my thumbs when loading mags. Yes, the 223 are the easiest. May I ask how much the loader cost?

It was 45.00 at my LGS.

Cheap and Easy Mag Loader

I have this. It was cheap and easy on the fingers

That's what I was looking for but they had a Caldwell set up on the counter and when they showed me how fast it was I changed my mind. With a little practice you can dump a box and a half of ammo right into it and hit the plunger three times and it's loaded.

The caldwell and a soft rifle case came with my Sport 2 when I bought it 3 years ago.

I have the Maglula. Saves time. In NJ we can only have 10 round magazines, so I normally take 10 mags and the Maglula with me. I would rather use the speed loader than take my time hand loading.

Each slot in the Caldwell holds 10 rounds and it automatically indexes to the next slot. One push of the plunger loads 10 rounds.
