Hey everyone. Just wondering who uses what for loading large quantities of rounds. My fingers hurt after loading, and loading, and loading. I know there are some different types of tools out there to assist. But what actually works, and doesn't cost BIG $$$. Thanks!hug.gif

I know what you mean. Even stripper clips hurt like a b***h after a while.

The only device that I've heard works very well for loading magazines both very quickly and comfortably is the Lula Bench Loading device. I looked in to it but the damn thing costs $250-$300. For that kind of money, I'd rather buy 1500 rounds of ammo and deal with the slight discomfort.

+1 on the stripper clips. They definitely make it quicker, but don't do much for the hands. I loaded 1800 rounds of M855 onto stripper clips. Wish I'd never done it.

The Mag LULA works well, a little slow.

Yup, pain free but slow as it gets. This is the small Lula, not the table loader. Works great for unloading mags, though.

I can load single rounds faster by hand than I can with a LULA (mag style) but when I'm dealing with boxed ammo like Wolf, I use a Cammenga Easyloader. I can drop all 20rds in the Easyloader, close the top, pull a finger hook, and I have 20rds in the mag fast.

Course, I just won an AR15.com LULA in the Team member drawing, so I'll get some more practice with that

I've had great experiences with the MagLULA loaders, they advertise 30 rounds in 35 seconds, they're not lying. Not to mention you can use it to unload mags as well.

I use the mag loader from my Beta mag. I think they are sold seperately as well. You just put a stripper clip in push the plunger down, and that's it, works well for me.

have you tried/seen the canadian forces issued loader and stripper clips. the loader fits over top of the of the top of the mag and holds the stripper clips.

I've got two Mag-LULA from Global Tactical.

One for ARs and one for my AKs and Galil AR.

They're not very fast but it's a thumb saver.

Loading about 20 mags today at the range shooting my Sig 220. It got me thinking that loading up AR or AK mags with just the thumb is no big F##$%^&* deal. Christ, my thumb, after today, is cut to shit and swollen the size of my big toe.

Anyhow, the LULA's work fine and +1 on the Denny's AR15.com logo'd LULA's
