Start off wrong and get wronger – hows that for verbage????? The ruger bx 25 and bx 15 ARE NOT ROTARY MAGAZINES !!!! Open one up bonehead. They are stacked in line magaxines
GREAT vid. Bought one of these loaders several years ago, got frustrated when I couldn't load even 1 mag and relegated to dust collector status on a cabinet shelf in my gun room. Came upon it last week by accident and decided to give it one more try before throwing it in the trash. THIS vid unlocked the 'secret' that I must first load 1 round into the mags by hand – YAY! – it now functions quite well and saves my aging arthritic fingers the ominous task of loading 10/22 magazines. The rifle will now become a frequent range companion. A good value accessory for anyone IMHO.
Great instructional video, just got one of these units and some pistol primers at a garage sale .Now I know how to use it ! Came with a second loader box also
How would you say this compares to the Caldwell speedloader? By the look of it, I would say the rounds don't get hung up as much as they do in the Caldwell. Both recommend starting with one in the mag as you mentioned, so they have that in common.
I recently bought one of these speed loaders before stumbling onto your channel. I'm really enjoying your content, thanks for sharing! I had no idea that NRL22 was a thing.
I sort of like the Champion Speed Loader… I feel like the angles on the slots that the pegs of the crank run through could have been done a little better. For example, rounding the edges a tad. The crank mechanism on mine would sometimes get snagged on the sharp edge of a slot and hang up making the loading not as smooth.
I decided to *void my warranty*. Opening the lower mechanism seemed like it might break a tab on the plastic so I avoided that. Instead, I drilled 4 small holes above the tracks of the slots using a precision hand drill and making sure the pegs were out of the way near the sharper edges of the tracks. I then sprayed a dash of WD-40 PTFE lubricant in the 4 holes (a dash is an understatement but I intended a tiny amount. I cleaned up any access that I could get to). That was enough to eliminate the friction of the sharp edges and make the loader run really smooth. Of course, this may cause issues down the road due to build-up in the tracks or debris but I'm willing to gamble and just buy another one if I end up liking it.
I'm on the fence about it. So far I like it but I don't like that I had to modify it to make it run how I'd expect it to be out of the box for nearly $50 bucks. I think if I was approached and asked about the Champion Speed Loader I'd point out my experience thus far and would probably recommend a Maglula 10/22 as an alternative solution.
I've read comments that folks mention that this Champion device will mess with grouping. I suppose I can see that if they are damaging the round by forcing it to feed into the mag thus marking the lead tip or denting the casing, then I suppose there is some plausibility there. Have you experienced any issues using it vs loading by hand? I've also heard folks report that Ruger made 10rnd mags work better than 15 or larger. I'm not sure how that would really play into things but I suppose the gun might like some mags over others? Any thoughts on that?
You need to go with the "McFadden Lightnin' Grip Loader" instead. Modular design allows you to use it on different magazines, just buy the adapter specific to the applicable magazine.

Nice loader. Looks better than caldwell
This work w the bigger mags? Like 15 rounds and up?

Can You Feel When It's Full? Or Do You Really Need To Count How Many Rounds?
Have you done an update on this? It has pretty bad reviews on Amazon and looks like a child's toy for quality. Are you still using it?
Great instructional video, just got one of these units and some pistol primers at a garage sale .Now I know how to use it !
Came with a second loader box also
That took longer than loading them by hand. 🙄
Prove they actually filled the magazine
Maglula is simpler, cheaper and better. Btw .. the 10 round mags are rotary, the 15 and 25 are not, not that it matters here.
That’s amazing if it works have you noticed same reliability with cycling.
