Ludex .22 Magazine Speed Loader for Ruger Mark II/III/IV/Hunter and 22/45,Browning Buckmark,Colt Woodsman and Stoeger Luger

This was a gift for my dad and we immediately took it to the range to try it out. He was able to reload the magazines as fast as I was able to shoot them. No product is ever going to be perfect but this is as close as it gets. His main tip is to read the instructions that it comes with as it works quite well and is easy to use when the operator uses it correctly. It is a solid build and even though it’s larger than other speed loaders, it is well worth the space in the range bag.

This Ludex .22 Mag Speed Loader works excellent. I wish I would have found this years ago. It would have saved my fingers and a lot of loading time. Simply pour up to 50 shells in the reservoir and give it a few gentle shakes and place over the magazine. Done. Very fast. Now, some .22 shells are coated with a waxy type of lube. These will stick together and not slide into the magazine properly. The fix for this is a short shot of a TEFLON dry lube. A little shake to mix and coat the shells... Badda-Bing, fixed. Works like a charm.

Not perfect, but better than most options for loading mark mags.

This is almost perfect. It does work well but requires a little fiddling around with. Once you have it figured out, it makes loading a breeze. Sometimes the last round has a bit of an issue falling into place. It is kinda big and bulky, and just another odd item to carry around (but absolutely worth the hassle).

I really wanted this to work so I could reload faster and get more shooting done, but it just doesnt perform reliably at all with my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 at all. I tried 8 different factory magazines [2 were brand new straighr from the package], as well as 3 brands of 22lr ammo [cci minimal, Remington target, and aguila super extra], and not a single one could load a magazine reliably. I started with the cci since it is considered the gold standard, but could not get more than 2-3 rounds to load before the speed loader got a jam. I did manage to get one magazine loaded with 8 rounds, but in the same time my wife hand loaded 5 magazines to capacity. The Remington and the aguila faired much worse, which is a shame since they are usually the stuff I get in bulk for plinking and the whole point of buying this loader, but it jams so frequently that you are better off hand loading, or moving to a loader that just pushes the button down. I would give it 2 stars because it does arrange all the ammo in a good row quickly as shown in the picture, and if the loading aspect worked this thing would save so much time...but since it is so unreliable to load any magazines [at least with a mark iv 22/45], that renders the whole thing pointless and a waste of money. If you have a mark iv 22/45, I highly recommend not getting this product as it simply does not work better than hand loading, and since the issue seems to be with dispensing the ammo and not the magazines, I have doubts that other models would work much better, especially when even the "gold standard" cci mini mag ammo had such difficulties.

Excellent loader! It made loading magazines a breeze. It only took me a few seconds to adjust the screw and begin loading. A few mags had all ten rounds slide in completely as the mag was seated. The rest only required “pumping” the mag up and down a couple of times to load up. I highly recommend this loader!

It’s finicky but it works if you mess with it!!

I’m very pleased with this loader. It seems to work amazing on the Ruger Mark/Standard series magazines but with the buckmark it does fail to load the last round more than it succeeds. Despite this though I find it very easy to use and would highly encourage anyone interested to give it a try. I like the fact that I can preload my magazines, then full the storage capacity of 50 more rounds back up and it can go to the range with me like that. Can’t beat for the cost.

This reloaded is great works flawlessly and saves your thumb

Used with a Ruger Mark IV. I originally thought this product would work about 50% of the time, and eventually cause more trouble than its worth. So far however (400~ rounds) its been running great, and I've done nothing but shove cartridges in straight from the box. It only took 2-3 attempts to initially adjust the screw to the right length so that it will give me a full ten rounds for my magazine instead of nine. The only issue I do have is that occasionally this screw can slip over top of the thumb tab on the magazine instead of pushing it down, preventing any ammo from being able to enter the magazine (and sort of trapping the magazine into place as well). This is a minor issue though since a tiny bit of pressure will free the magazine within a second or two, and then you can just re-insert it a bit more more carefully and it'll work flawlessly again. Even when this does occasionally happen, I've found it is still far faster to fix it and continue on than it would have been to try and fill the magazine using any other method. Of the 400ish rounds I've used this for, not a single one has had any failure to fire so it doesn't seem to have any issue getting them properly seated into the magazine. All-in-all, it made loading my magazines extremely fast and efficient, so I could spend a lot more of my range time actually practicing.

It is faster to load with but it’s not smooth. You’ll have to learn how to play with it so it does load the ammo quick. I never got a full refill in one go, had to always stop, adjust and then it would go. At least 4-5 readjustments for a full mag

Vas très bien

I picked this up to make loading easier and quicker. It's a bit quirky to use but when it works, it works great. However, it only manages to fill the clip 90%
