Caldwell AR Magazine Loader

This looks interesting.  Not sure how practical it is.  From the demonstration video, it looks like the rounds have to be in the box with bullet up.  Being a rifle round reloading virgin, I'm not sure if that is how they are normally placed in the box like this.

I believe the MSRP is around $90 which is a lot better than the $300 Butler Creeks is asking for their high end mag loader.

Or you could get an Up-Lula for $35. They do work.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Yeah...I've got one of those.  It works great, but some other loaders look even faster.  Like I tell my wife, faster is better.
