The Bubba Effect
Grandmaster
I am taking a rifle class next week and their gear list suggests bringing a maglula magazine loader. I have never used one. I will be using an AR15.
I did take a pistol class a couple of weeks ago and the gear list suggested bringing a lula pistol mag loader. I bought one and brought it, but used it twice and went back to loading mags by hand. I didn't have any problems loading mags by hand and it seemed faster than using the lula loader.
I don't have any problems or complaints with loading AR mags by hand, but if the maglula really is handy, I will get one.
What are your thoughts? Has anyone used one extensively and really liked it? Has anyone bought one and then not used it because loading by hand is pretty easy? I'm not worried about squeezing every single round possible into the mags for the class, so if the mag has 28 rounds in it, that's good enough.
The ammo requirement for the class is 1500 rounds, but based on the requirements vs actual rounds used for the same school's pistol classes, I figure I will shoot somewhere between 750 and 1250 rounds.
I will be loading from loose rounds, not on stripper clips.
School me on these things INGO!
