Loading .22 is a terrible pain in the ass. It takes forever, hurts my thumbs, and I truly hate it. I recently stumbled upon this amazing speed loader.
I picked one up for my Browning Buckmark and could not be happier. Now it takes effortless seconds to load a magazine.
This loader works for:
Browning Buck Mark
Ruger 22/45
Ruger Mark II, III & Hunter
Colt Woodsmen Mag.
Old Military High Standard
Newer High Standard Pistols
Stoeger Luger
You pour the ammo into the bucket end (just pour, it holds a little over 50 rds), shake it for a few seconds (this orients the ammo in the feeding chute), tilt it, stick a magazine in and pull it out. The ammo drops right in. It takes about 2 seconds per magazine.
It's available from a bunch of places online (CTD, Amazon, Midway, Ebay...) but I picked mine up at Midway.
