Mine broke in half after 9 magazine loads. I contacted Butler Creek byut have not gotten a response back. It worked great before it broke in half.I did find that following the instructions as far as the angle to hold it at made a big differance
Cons:
- breaks easily, not worth the money
- breaks easily, not worth the money
Would recommend: No

Finally got around to trying the loader out and it dents every single round it loads. Caused a lot of jamming for me using factory Ruger mags. Maybe I got a bad one or not but I would not recommend. I went back to hand loading the jamming issues went away.
Would recommend: No

This speed loader does quick work reloading and saving my precious thumbs on the range. Pretty decent job, however You have to keep an eye on the bullets that fall in place near the mag so just in case it doesn't slot 100% properly. you could accidentally warp your casing if you push too hard and makes me a little nervous nearing the end of a 25 mag. Still learning the loader, but beats hand loading everything.
Would recommend: Yes

I have always endorsed loaders because it saves your fingers. I wish they had made a version where you can squeeze AR version. Nevertheless it is still better than manual loading. A larger capacity in this loaded would be beneficial.
Would recommend: Yes

This loader will load a magazine a lot quicker than the the thumb method and many other loaders but you do need to take it slow so that you don't dent and deform the round. With the right technique (turn, pause, turn) you can load three 25-roumd mags in about a minute and a half. If a jamb does occur, by simply rotating the loader to the left you can un-jamb the loader easily. If the jamb occurs in the loader cam you might need to remove the mag and back off the loading cam. Not too bad and you save your thumb!
Would recommend: Yes

This is a fantastic product. The only reason I gave it a 4 for usability is there is a small learning curve. Once you get the hang of how to use it and how to hold it, it's a great and fast loader!
Pros: Fast Loader
Cons: Small learning curve
Would recommend: Yes

Great product. My research found this is the best of other 50 round loaders. Tricky to use at first but, it gets easier as you learn to use it. No more sore thumbs!!! I recommend it.
Pros: No more sore thumbs, more time shootin'!
Cons: Little tricky to start, gets easier as you learn.
Would recommend: Yes

There is a trick to get this thing to work. It will work for butler creek mags and ruger mags after you figure it out. I'll be honest, I actually bought this thinking that if it worked with other mags than surely it would work with the Eagle mags as well, I was wrong. It really takes practice to operate and after I damaged about 10 rounds of ammo or so, I think I've got it. If it feels like it's binding, don't turn it harder! It will dent or bend the brass case! I would not recommend this to anyone with intentions of using it for Eagle mags as it does not work too well.
Pros: works ok after you get the routine going
Cons: does not work well at all with eagle mags
Would recommend: Yes
