Ruger 1022 Loader?

[mandolin3]

Has anyone used the Butler Creek loader (link below) for 1022's? Most of the user reviews I've seen are favorable, however, they indicate that it is a little fussy and has a bit of a learning curve.

My nephew showed me his. I had my doubts but after I saw him just dump, shake, and twist. I was impressed enough that I went home and bought one too. Will not work on the factory 10 round rotary mags, but all the banana mags so far are fine. A+

Factory mags

I have used the BC loader to load factory mags. You just can't insert them as quickly as the larger capicity.

I have this loader and use it and recommend it. There is a short learning curve and it can be a little fussy. The angle you hold the loader seems to make a difference as to how well the ammo feeds into the mag. Play with it a little until you find the "sweet spot" and you will be happy. Keep in mind that this is plastic and you don't want to force anything. If it doesn't feel like it is feeding properly, stop and adjust as needed. I messed one of them up by turning the handle too hard when there was a round lodged in the loading cam.

Just to echo what others are saying. The Butler Creek loader makes loading the "banana" mags easy. It does take a while to figure out how it likes to feed the rounds, and sometimes it will leave a small but harmless dent in the round, but otherwise well worth the money.

Good to know I had not tried it, was just told it did not work for them. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Good info on loading factory 10 rounders (slow)...many folks say that it won't work on them.

When you have 100 factory mags to load you try everything.
