@Gunslinger – I’m assuming my Butler Creek speedloader would work with it.
It works with every other brand of 10/22 magazine I own.

0I picked one up at the NRA show this spring. I finally tested mine a couple weeks ago and did a quicky video for Woods Monkey (online outdoor mag). We put 300 rounds through at the time of the video and think we ended up with 350 or 375 through it by the end of the day. We used two Remington loads and one Federal load (bulk pack). I had two malfunctions during the test and both fed fine but were bad primers. Not the mag’s fault. Not sure if its kosher to post a link to our vid but that’s the gist of what we found out.
I like the mag. Seems solid and I was happy with the initial performance. MUCH better like than with my other batch of steel lip mags. I plan on buying a couple more.

0Great. We have one for training our children, but I love it for plinking. It is amazing how quick 10 rounds are spent.

0Very cool. Not sure how I missed this. Seems Ruger is really coming around.

0Why in the video is he shooting only 15 or 20 rounds? Im having problems no matter what ammo I use when loading 25 rounds. I would say 50% of the time no matter how carefully i load the mag the last 5 or so lay flat and will not feed properly.

0gunslinger, not to my knowledge. The constant force spring should help make it easier to load.

0Who makes these magazines? Does Ruger or are they outsourced to another company like Promag, Ramline of Butler Creek?
It would be great if some company made a 100 round drum or magazine for the 10/22. Hint-hint, Ruger!
The 90 rounder and 100 round drums are available for the AR-15 and Mini-14, so why not something for the 10/22.

0howlingcoyote, I may be wrong, but I think they make it themselves. They make the standard magazines themselves. Regardless, parts like the feed lips will be made by ruger, even if the plastic is made elsewhere.
