I have a LULA and I love it but this thing looks even easier! Looks to be as easy as the incredibly overpriced Magula. They even have a version for stripper clips. Has anyone tried it?

Price is steep.

I've seen them on post less than half that if I remember right.

By the time you drop each round into the slot you've finished loading using LULA.  With this device you still have to get all the cartridges in there.  I don't see any advantage and it's bulky.

If you already have clipped ammo the GI method is still fastest.

Well I don't have one so I really don't know how good it works. For the loose ammo one I'm sure your right

I thought the same thing for the loose ammo version. But for SHTF I store all my Ammo on stripper clips, it seems that this would be easier and faster (especially for my wife or kid) to load than the standard way.

I do aggree that the price is a little high. But at least it's not $395.00 (Magula).

Besides I'm not trying to sell the thing![;)]
I just wanted to know if anyone has one and how they like it?

The subject loader is the Cammenga, isn't it?  I've seen them as low as $26 and as high as $39.  I had one and traded it off for mags after I bought a LULA.

I have both, bought the easyloader before I saw the LULA. LULA beats the easyloader as far as size & speed. Gave the easyloader to a friend.

Hello all,

Guy Tal from maglula Ltd Israel here. We manufacture both the LULA and BenchLoader products.

As a reply to this thread, our BenchLoaders ($350 retail) are professional heavy duty loaders made for military use. They were manufactured to the requirement and specifications of the IDF (Israeli military).

If one needs to load handreds of magazines daily, this is the tool for you.

We display the BenchLoader, through GTS LLC, at various gun shows in the US. I welcome you to come and test-try it, and be amazed.

Thank you,

Guy Tal

I have one for both ar-15/mini-14 and ak/sks and they work great. Once you get used to it there quite fast, much better than doing it each round indivdually. Also if you happen to buy wolf 223 you can pull out all the rounds while they are still in the plastic divider and then just set in one side (10 rds) and push then repeat with the other side making it incrediably fast

I have both one of those Cammenga loaders and a LULA, and I have to say that I like the LULA MUCH better!!  Both get used if there are more than 2 of us at the range, because there are a lot of mags to fill, though......

thanks for joining us. We like having you guys around to keep us up on things.

I liked the magula as well but the price...holy shit.  
Looked at the LULA but I can load an AR mag pretty damn fast myself. Still thinking about getting one and trying it out, though.

Do you have anything similar for an UZI?

Thanks

Are you talking about the LULA or the bench loader? Brownell's has the LULA for about $15 and it is HANDY. I have the Cammenga loader, too and it's "okay," but nowhere near as handy as the LULA.

[dumbtitleimeathead]Uzis are for killing people. They're worthless. What would you do with an Uzi anyway? Magazine loaders for SKS-type rifles and Hi Points are much more useful.[/dumbtitleimeathead]


Here's a suggestion:

Instead of packing those crappy 10-round magazines and/or other worthless accessories with new AR15-type rifles, wouldn't it be handy if a manufacturer included a LULA?

Benchloader.  But am considering the LULA also.

Hey, I use my UZI for pheasant hunting.  I've gotten pretty good with it but everyone else has to leave the area!

That'd be good. Have never used any of my 10 rd mags.  Not one.

LULA is the only way to go!!  Unless you plan on loading hunderds of mags a day![:)]

I have one for .308 (FAL) and it doesn't work worth a damn! You'll notice at gun shows they always demo it with .223, which seems to work ok, but it takes "King Kong" to make it work with .308. I have the LULA for .223 and am sold on them. They'll soon be coming out with an "AK" version (7.62x39) and I can't wait to get one! Other calibers to follow over time.
