Lula 10/22lr Magazine Loader = Thumb Saver & Great Range Bag Addition!

Anyone who has used Ruger 10 round magazines for a 10/22 or RPR for any length of time knows the wear and tear an afternoon of shooting can have on your thumbs and fingers. Brutal, especially if it's cold outside!
Over the years I've tried different loaders for 22lr magazines with mixed results. Never a shortage of frustration and nothing ever worked close to 100% of the time, but you learn to deal with it.
A while back I stumbled across the Lula 10/22. Price was reasonable, $20 or so if I recall correctly, and I'm a fan of MagLula loaders. Have used them for years on larger calibers like 45ACP as well as bottleneck pains to load like 223/308. Had a feeling this would be a pain/frustration saver. I was right.
Took this out for range day on the RPR rimfire build. Previously, when dealing with the Ruger mini drum magazines/cartridges, the lowest and most frustrating part of the range day is reloading those frustrating little magazines! At least for my fingers and thumbs! MagLula to the rescue ;-)
I really like this little magazine loading assistant. Pain free and zero frustration. It just works.
