McFadden Machine Ultimate Clip Loader

Wow! MkII/MkIII magazines are fiddly to load, and can give you a sore thumb after a few hundred rounds. I've used the little red plastic loding assist devices that pull the follower button down and hold it for you. They work, and save your thumbs, but they are really no faster to use than loading without them.This device is in a whole other league. You dump the rounds in, close the door, give it a gentle wiggle to let them drop into position, then you can load the magazines by inserting them in the bottom and tilting the device to let them drop in.In practice, it take a little "pumping" as other reviewers have mentioned. But it is still extremely fast. With the 50 round capacity you could easily load 4 or 5 magazines with this device in less time that it takes to load one magazine by hand.Another reviewer who did a video review showed the device dropping an extra round out the magazine chute after loading. This can be corrected by adjusting the stop screw at the bottom of the magazine chute inwards until you find the sweet spot where the loader injects all 10 rounds but retains the rest. I used some action proving dummy rounds found here:A-Zoom 22 Lr Action Proving Dummy Rounds (12 Pack)...to adjust and test the loader safely.I am very impressed. The device is bulky, but I can't think of any way they could have changed the design to make a significant reduction in size. Overall, this will be an incredible time saver. It works so well I have been loading those dummy rounds into mags repeatedly just because it's fun to watch a well designed machine in action.

I bought this for my Ruger Mark III Competition and it works fantastic! What a time & thumb saver! However, if you don't hold it at the right tilt, it can cause your magazine to fill incorrectly, as I discovered at the range today. But that was operator error. It has a screw that can be easily adjusted in and out to tweak the fit for your particular magazine. Mine would only load 9 rounds of the 10 round mag reliably until I turned out the screw just slightly. Now it loads the 10 rounds (Mass) with incredible speed. I find it works best if I 'pulse' the magazine into the well a few times to ease the loading. Just make sure you hold it at the correct angle or you might find your rimfire cartridges loading in a funky way. (It's only happened once so far, with cheap Federal white-box target ammo, but, as I said, that was operator error.) It's incredibly easy to use, it loads magazines with lightning speed, and it just plain works. It's a little big but that's the one and only 'criticism' I have for it after using it about fifty times now. I wish they had something like this for 9 mm! I could spend more time shooting and less time loading magazines.

For anyone that does a lot of shooting, you know how reloading the Ruger MKIII 22/45 magazine can be on your thumbs. This product is a life saver (well, a thumb saver)!Very simple operation. You dump your rounds into the feeder and close the door. Shake it back and forth until you get at least 10 rounds in the sight window where the rounds line up with the magazine. Insert your magazine and hold at about a 45 degree angle and slightly push you mag in and out. That's it. You ready for the next magazine.I have seen a video online where a guy can push his magazine into the reloader, and it loads without him having to push the mag in and out. Not a big deal, as pushing the mag in and out takes to great effort on my part. I am just happy I found a way to quickly load my magazines without my thumbs being so sore you can't concentrate on your trigger control.Great product! I will definitely be buying another one and highly recommend to fellow shooters!

Works reasonably well but I took off a star because I needed to spray a light shot of Rem Oil to make it work like it should for Ruger Mark IV loading. Just need to only spray as much as you plan to shoot. It certainly does save time if you’re looking to maximize your trigger time.

I shoot Steel Challenge and typically shoot rimfire limited and open. It takes a bit of patience to get it tuned it to work perfectly with Mk3 and Mk4 magazines, but it's well worth it. Just put a very small drop of loc-tite and the screw when you adjust it so it stays put. A quick spray with RemOil or something like that will keep everything working right. But...you really need to clean it before a match. I just clean it with soap/water and let it dry.
