If someone has used this product for their Ruger Mk III magazines, I would like to know what they did to get it to work well. I put the ammo in the hopper, shake it around until the ammo lines itself in the feed tube, place my magazine into the loader, and the ammo will not feed itself into the magazine. It jams up at the feed point. I understand that using a lubricant may be required to make this thing work well, but I don't know which lubricant to use that is not harmful to the lexan.

Scott, I use mine all the time and it works well. What ya have to do is put the mag all the way in and pump it back and forth about 1/16 of a inch and every time you pump it in and out a round will drop. Once in awhile a mag will fill if you just hold it all the way in, but most of the time just pump it back and forth 1/16 inch at a time and it will feed fine, I don't use lube on any rounds per directions. What I told you will work fine, it is a nice product, any more questions, let me know, I love mine. Bob Kleman

Rem Oil is not supposed to harm the plastic. I have a mark3 also and mine worked without the oil. good luck

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor

I have never used this loader to load up 00 Buckshot as I do not have a large use for them other than home defense. I do not think that this machine could or was even made to handle shot that large. I have used the machine to dispense my powder charge, primer, wad and crimp but inserted the 00 buckshot manually. If you are using 00 buckshot that was purchased all you would have to do is use the Lee Press for inserting your primer, powder, wad, put 9 00 Buckshot pellets in by hand, and then crimp. This is the way that I did it and it worked out fine but then again I was only loading about ten rounds so time wasnt really an issue as to how many I could pump out. I hope this helps.

A.Dirusso not sure if it will work with your firearms. But be aware depending on the ammo you buy some ammo have a waxy film to them. Different manufacturers either have no coding or some coding to the rounds. The Ultimate Clip Loader works well with rounds that have no waxy buildup. I have discovered the waxier the rounds are, the less practical the Ultimate Clip Loader becomes. If you're like me, you shop on the web for sales on ammo. But what you get can either be a great day in the field or you end up shaking that thing like the candy machine that robbed you of your favorite Snickers bar! Anyway I hope this helps on making your decision. Good luck dude! A.Dirusso not sure if it will work with your firearms. But be aware depending on the ammo you buy some ammo have a waxy film to them.

I have used this loader many times to load the magazines for my Ruger MKIII. I had to follow the instructions to adjust the screw on the loader, but only a small amount. You also need to pay close attention to the level line embossed into the loader when you push the magazine into the loader. The first couple of times I used the loader I was shocked at how well, and fast, it functioned. If you blink you miss the rounds going into the Ruger magazine. NOW THE BAD! I have used the loader with Remington (the cheap stuff) and some old Winchester wildcat, and it worked perfectly. A couple of weeks ago I found a brick of Federal ammo in the back of my safe. The Federal stuff will not function in this loader to save its life. It appears to me that the federal ammo is slightly too long to drop through the loader. I have not measured the Federal compared to the other brands, but it does not work. I hope that helps.

And the fact that I have it for my gun so I know it works the only thing about the mag is I you have it in while you run it's ez to lose so if your going pistol for a round it's great! But if it's just on your side it will bounce around and eventually hit the mag release so just watch it I say go for it it's a good mag you can fill it ones and use it 3 times on a worm day now fall and winter is fill it up to top it off to be safe gas does not do well in the cold so keep that in mind while useing it. Good luck

None of the magazines worked on this gun. I called & they sent me a replacement to an entirely different gun. I had even ordered a spare magazine & the gun came with two. Good luck.

Mag worked for me - Barrel gets too hot. Be-careful, over tightening can be an issue. Hope this helps! Fine tuning the laser sight can be difficult. The directions are sparse at best.

I would say yes, again that's my opinion. I used it on a still operational WWII handgun, cleaned & lubricated the firearm three days prior to testing it at a range. Immediately prior to testing the firearm I wiped the inside of the barrel clean of lubricant / oil with the rest of the gun in a thin coating of lubricant. Upon completion cleaned & lubricated it again and put away. Worked well for me, do not see a reason why it shouldn't work on a rifle like yours (considering the rate of shoots / sec. to be a lot higher). This is not a very viscous lubricant, so you should have good penetration into hard to reach areas for good lubrication.

Every other or every third loop, but not one round each in adjacent loops. OR, load more hi-cap mags on a belt or in a [molle-type] vest. That could save a whole lot of precious time when the real need is to send 'em downrange - quickly. Won't happen from a bandolier. OR, use the rounds from their OEM box. Bottom line - what was the intention for having & using this bandolier? Probably no right or wrong answer on this one. Have fun with it, tho.

The Tri-Rail mount works great but you may need a small spacer on the bottom to accommodate for the laser touching the magazine. I used a piece of PVC pipe cut in half of the same diameter of the outside of the magazine. I would recommend not ordering the rest of the cheap hardware and spend an extra few dollars for a high quality laser site and flashlight. Both of these from my original order blew out within the first 50 rounds and the laser never sighted in correctly. I also use a Magpul MOE 870 for-end that is slotted to run the laser pressure switch on the inside without causing any binding.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

The gun can be a little on the heavy side so it's hard to hold steady free handed. If you put it on some type of support and it usually shoots pretty good. Also the cheaper pellets tend to wander all over the target. Buy the higher quality ammo. That should help out also.

This does not jam for me. I had it for over 4 months until i made it apart of a mod but it did not jam. The blasters usually do not jam its just the clips that put out 2 darts or so causing the blaster to jam so your rapid strike should be fin its just your clip.

Nooooooo. I just recently bought the gun, wound up the mag, fully charged the battery, turned the safety off, etc. Wont even fire or try to fire. I myself have a question why this is going on.
