If someone has used this product for their Ruger Mk III magazines, I would like to know what they did to get it to work well. I put the ammo in the hopper, shake it around until the ammo lines itself in the feed tube, place my magazine into the loader,...

I have used this loader many times to load the magazines for my Ruger MKIII. I had to follow the instructions to adjust the screw on the loader, but only a small amount. You also need to pay close attention to the level line embossed into the loader when you push the magazine into the loader. The first couple of times I used the loader I was shocked at how well, and fast, it functioned. If you blink you miss the rounds going into the Ruger magazine. NOW THE BAD! I have used the loader with Remington (the cheap stuff) and some old Winchester wildcat, and it worked perfectly. A couple of weeks ago I found a brick of Federal ammo in the back of my safe. The Federal stuff will not function in this loader to save its life. It appears to me that the federal ammo is slightly too long to drop through the loader. I have not measured the Federal compared to the other brands, but it does not work. I hope that helps.

Yes, Robert, that is the gun I bought the loader for and it works well. It's made to work with a range of magazines and not specifically the Sig so the bottom of the mag plate sits in a slot (one of many) inside the tool and must be held firmly in place with one hand while the other hand places bullets into the top. It's slightly awkward but only slightly, and once you've loaded a few mag's it is second nature.

Hi John,I wish I could give you an answer to your question. I no longer have the package it came with but I can certainly tell you that a "Speed Loader" is a godsend when loading a magazine. It is sooooo very easy.Joe H.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope it cuts down on wasted ammo while dialing in the sites.Rob

If that is happening, then the primer slide assembly is hanging up. Take it out and sand every edge with emery paper. Then clean that area and keep it free from powder flakes, primer debris, etc. Also, do not screw the primer seater punch all the way up, as it easily jams if even the slightest debris gets in it. Take it our and clean it every 50 rounds. The priming system is the only issue I have had with my Lock N Load. I have loaded well over 15,000 rounds of superb ammo with mine.

Since Ruger Mini14 mags are so exclusive, I can't recommend this speed loader. I sold my mini14 two years ago so I can't even check to see if they would work. I would sincerely doubt it though. Be careful.

I could not get it to work on my Ruger at all. Sorry, Maybe I am just dense but I tried every way I could and it just wouldn't work

Can't help you, sorry. My .22 belt fed took crap after seven shots and is under my bed. I just bought a bunch of stuff and wish things were easier.Neil.

Nooooooo. I just recently bought the gun, wound up the mag, fully charged the battery, turned the safety off, etc. Wont even fire or try to fire. I myself have a question why this is going on.

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?

I bought one and used it for a while. I had a problem keeping the laser sighted in. It seemed to "slip" out of alignment every time I stored the pistol and then had to re-align before shooting for score. Not a bad idea, it just didn't seem to do the job without the problem stated above. FWIW

Hey Matt me again, After looking at the gun, it looks like you might have to get a special box mag. But like I said earlier, if it had a m4 mag slot than it works.

Not sure why it gets jammed, but it rips up the bullets and we have gone through a lot. When it works it shoots far but for me i would rather they dont use it because im tired of buying bullets

No problem . Just use speed loader with four bullets . Great speed loader .

The only time I ever seem to have a problem is when its fully loaded. I just put about 15 darts in them so it won't jam. I also may have had a slightly damaged dart I would put right back in the mag when it was fully loaded and would jam the first shot. Its usually easy to unjam them by pulling the dart out the top from the slide that opens. That's what its there for. Sometimes I just push it the rest of the way in the barrel and let it fall out the front. Fun gun. They all have little flaws. -Colby :)

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

I have the same gun and it works fine. It pushed the bullets down into the clip keeping it centered on the clip.
