Nuprol XL Speedloader — Rifle Magazines

Mid-caps are the right answer for realism and reliability, and the wrong answer for anyone who does not enjoy filling magazines. Six mid-caps is six fills, and doing that from a bottle is how safe-zone time disappears.

The XL holds considerably more than a pistol loader, so a mid-cap fills in one pass rather than several. Over a game day with four or five magazines that is the difference between loading being a task and loading being an afterthought.

It is manual, so there is nothing to charge and nothing that can fail at the wrong moment — which is why plenty of people who own an electric loader still carry one of these as backup.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

For rifle magazines — the standard pistol loader is the smaller option for sidearms. If you fill a great many magazines, an electric loader is faster still, but nothing beats a manual loader for reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Will it fill hi-caps as well as mid-caps?
Yes, though hi-caps are usually filled through their own port and wound. It comes into its own on mid-caps.

Is it worth it over the pistol loader?
For rifle magazines, considerably — the extra capacity means fewer passes per magazine.

Does it need batteries?
No. Manual, so it never runs flat mid-game.

Should I get this or an electric loader?
An electric loader is faster and counts as it goes. This is cheaper, lighter and always works. Many players own both.
