Reload your mags F A S T !

Isn’t it easier just to carry pre-loaded magazines instead of pre-loaded loaders that you have to load into the magazine?

Someone should just make speedloaders with funnels milled behind each chamber on the opposite end of the speedloaders with swing away front and back blocking plates. Rear plate must be lower flush to the rear of the pellets than the extended upper ridge so they don't fall out of their chambers when rear is closed

Only way faster is to mod some different diameter syringes according to caliber and just use as pellet pens to load the Impact or other mags. They are cheap like only a couple bux a dozen.
OR just use pellet pens.

The device works nicely and I can't load .177 that quickly.
You can do the same 'shake it' method with a Taipan Vet mag.

I like Elis’s Design better than the new ones from UAG. Just lay over on mag and flip, done! No twisting around. It appears to be a well designed product, but for the Hunter using gloves in cold weather, that twisting of the speedloader is just an extra step that could lead to pellets in the snow, I predict.

Anybody else suffering for got-to-have-more-spare-magazine syndrome? For a reason or another, I thought this was powder-burner specific... But have since realized that airgunners are also affected. Anxiety seems to ease with 5x magazines per rifle/pistol... or if playing a specific game, enough mags to get you through a match...

Hello All! We are the manufacturers of the Stud Mag Loader and Stud Mag Feeder you all have been discussing.
A couple of thoughts for your consideration:
The main reason for the development of this product (the Stud Mag Loader) was to produce a more refined speed loader than was currently available when I went to load my FX .177 magazine. We have the first pellet more easily accessible as we designed in a feature that allows the first pellet to drop out when you start to rotate the lid. We did not like the other designs that made you kind of dig that first pellet out with your finger nail. We wanted then to stand up to a pants pocket full of junk, a range bag or being dropped on the floor without opening up. We spent about 4 months engineering, testing, filing trademarks etc. and producing prototypes before we turned the first one over to a customer. We wanted a product with the quality a FX customer would expect and one I wanted to use. We started from a clean sheet (actually CAD) after measuring the FX magazines and got to work.
Why Mag Loaders in the first place? It takes me about 5 mags to hit my low regulator pressure on my .177 FX Dreamline. This means I need at least 5 magazines (if I want to spend time shooting vs putting pellets in little holes with my fat fingers) which cost allot. It is not fun to load these pellets when you are at the range, in fact it really stinks. At home on my flat desk, it takes about 1:30 seconds to load a .177 magazine assuming none of the pellets flip upside down, and I can get them in by those 2 tabs that stick out.
It takes about 20 seconds to load a FX magazine with our speed loader (in any weather, while at the range). They load the FX magazine easily, fast and at a much lower cost than buying 4 more magazines.
The Pellet Feeder?..Where this came from was my particular distaste of loading ANY .177 pellet in anything, anytime, anywhere. We had a customer suggest an idea of a device that could sort pellets which got us thinking. There is allot of stuff available to do that, however when they are sorted, it's usually for sizing. The other issue is because the skirts are larger than the heads, the sorter ends up with the skirts up...this is the opposite of the way the FX magazines can load. However it is exactly the way our Stud Mag Loader wants to receive pellets, skirt first. After a bunch of testing and ultra precise printing and secondary sizing we were able to product the accessory Stud Mag Feeder you have been discussing.
We have developed Feeders for our Stud Mag Loaders for.22, .25 and .30 but during testing we did not feel the sorting was consistent enough to sell to our customers. The .177's are on our website now and work pretty well with a simple swirling action, and the only ones we will be shipping for the time being. We occasional get a tipped pellet with the .177's also but with practice using it you get a nice sort 9 out of 10 times.
In Summary: All speed loaders (ours and our competitors) make your time at the range much nicer and they are allot cheaper than a bunch of FX magazines. Our Stud Mag Loaders, especially .22, .25 and .30's are VERY easy to load by hand and really we are not sure the Feeders are necessary for most customers in these calibers.
I am a relative newcomer compared to you all to the airgun world. I discovered it when I wanted to get something my grand kids could shoot in our backyard. After the usual junk we all start out with, I discovered this world of just awesome airguns and my first FX. While I still enjoy shooting my powder burners, the joy of shooting at home or at the range with really nice stuff is amazing.
I am humble and welcome your thoughts and comments about our products and how we can make them better.
