Works well enough - MagPump .223/5.56 AR-15 Magazine Loader, w/o MagDump

By the sound of it, you would think you could just dump ammo in the top willy nilly and have no problems. Actually though, you do have to make sure the rounds aren't sideways. You can have some pointing forwards and some pointing backwards, but when it's a completely disorganized pile in the hopper, it's not going to make it into the magazine. It does work nice and quickly, and its design is sturdy enough that you can kind of lean on it if you're a physically weak and lightweight person like me lol. Much like pump action shotguns and lever action rifles, you want to avoid short stroking it, but even when you do, it doesn't really jam, it just doesn't go all the way in and you have to press the lever right.
