I went out and bought a new 10/22 along with two Ramline 50-round mags and a Shooter's Ridge speed loader (this model). In the middle of loading the second magazine, the speed loader split apart, throwing plastic pieces and springs into the grass. Gander Mountain was good enough to refund my money, but now I'm looking for a quality speed loader that I can use with the magazines I already bought. I looked at the Hot Lips loader, but it claims that it's only for use with Hot Lips and Steel Lips magazines. Not sure if it would work with other mags or if that's just a suggestion to get you to buy their magazines, which seem to be significantly more expensive.
What have you had success with for jam-free loading and unloading? Speed loader and magazine combos?
