I traded my LGS today for 2 Ruger BX25 round magizines I traded 2 boxes of 45 long colt ammo I have no use for anymore.
Now I'm just wondering how they work, I'm sure it's a way to go threw a lot of 22 rounds.

They are generally thought of as a very good magazine with very few complaints.
If you traded something you don't need for something you can use, that's always a good deal.

Yes, you can flat out burn through some ammo.

I have a couple of them and what I like about them is I can load them up before going to the range and save time if I am only going to shoot for 30 minutes. They have worked great no feed issues at all.

I use them all the time and luv to blow thru the ammo till the cows come home.....or it gets dark out. LOL

I bought a bunch of them and hardly ever use them. When I shoot the 10/22 I use the 10-rounders.

I think the one we use is a Butler Creek loader. Loading is easy and fast. (That remark doesn't resemble me )

I like the 10 rounders too

Sightngrl

Yep the 10 rounders are fun to use with this

I bought a mess of the BX-25 mags and then the shortage hit us. I even have some 50-round drums and a bumpfire 10/22 and can shoot the 50 rounds in about ten seconds. But I try to make my limited ammo supply last so don't shoot it much. Last fall was the last time I shot it.

I've never had any problem with the 25 round mags. I have two and will preload one when going to the range. I have 16 ten rounders that I have in a cheap, but nice box that my wife bought me in Joanne's Fabrics. It was for thread but the mags are a perfect fit. It holds 18 and costs around $4 with a 50% off coupon that she always has a bunch of. On the inside of the box I place a piece of masking tape on the inside cover at each of the 6 rows of cubicles. On the tape I write which ammo and grain size that I preload before going to the range. While at the range, I'll probably reload the mags once, sometimes twice. I bought the mags at Cabelas in their 4 pack. It's around $56 at the time. I haven't checked recently. I've never had a problem with any of Ruger's magazines. If anyone is interested in the mag box I use, let me know as I used to have a link for them at Joanne's.

Thanks everyone, the magazines are still new in the packages the guy I traded never used them. It might not have been a fair trade for me I traded 100 rounds of 45 long colt but I have been unable to sell them. I here it's spring and I'll be going to the range as soon as it stops snowing here.
