- This video is about HC Mags High Capacity Magazines & Speed Loader for Ruger 10/22 Rifle
This video is an independent review of the product. Not an endorsement nor was I paid for it. I purchased this item myself.
Some love this system, some do not. It's like Ford or Chevy? Personal preference. 🙂
====== Updates on Availability
05-06-2021 Update
HC Mags speed loading for Ruger 10/22 Rifle back in stock and can ship next business day.
This has been a popular one.
hcmags.com/
Price for the HC3R TAC PAC Gen II has gone up from $80 to $99 now. They made a few tweaks to it. It seems worth it. I would buy it again. 👍
We’ll hope their inventory can keep pace with demand/orders.
1-6-21 I rcvd email from them that they expect to be shipping again in mid Feb 2021.
1-5-21 This website is the only source I know of. hcmags.com/
Based on information I have received recently, it sounds that this product is experiencing growing pains and production issues. Unable to keep up with demand.
Most recently it looked like they were trying to raise capital thru something like KickStarter. Maybe it is KickStarter. You may try calling them at (877) 244.9578 or email them at hcmags22@gmail.com Good luck! 👍

Just stumbled across your video. I really like this system, as it seems Very Thought Out and well designed. I actually paused your video 3/4 way thru to go and order me one. I loved your review and tutorial of the product as well. Great Job. Thanks a bunch for everything.
After watching your video about a month ago, the very next day I order one.
It is an amazing tool. I have purchased 3 additional mags.
I will order 2 more in the near future.
Thank you!
For a simple mind this can be complicated, but what it’s designed for is great, when you just set there putting in a bullet at a time now these can be boring, this is great, I’m getting me 1, thanks for sharing this great information video 👍👍
Great demo video!! I really enjoyed the extra tips that you added! I've been considering purchasing this kit and your review of the product helped me a lot!! Tom
Glad it was helpful!
2-5-19 I just received an email from HC Mags that the Tac Pacs are in stock again. Seems they keep selling out due to popularity, and they keep doing more production runs. Unfortunately sometimes the manufacturing delay can be a little long. They need to plan production runs when inventory gets down to a certain level to avoid the 'out of stock' situation. That disappoints buyers.
im impressed by your editing skills, there isnt weird jerks throughout the entire video
Thanks! I have some jump cuts and disconnects in some videos. I'm trying to improve over time. 👍
I am impressed, to say the least. I have a similar type loader for my 10 round clips for my Ruger Standard Model, Type Two pistol which is just as easy to load. Now, I have to look into this system for my rifle. Great video and info.
Thank you!
Thank to you! Got my kit today, and i have every single spot loaded!..lol..Thanks!
Great! I think you will enjoy that. Keep us posted on your thoughts. 👍
Thanks for the great demo video. I have a 10/22 my dad gave me when I was 16 (I'm 58 now)... this will help get some new fun out of this rifle.
Thank you!
This was very informative and thorough. Thank you!
Thank you!
A lot of thinking went into this product. But I'll stick with my Hot Lips loader and 30+ proven magazines.
Never seen this before. But as I just ordered the binary trigger for Ruger Charger 10/22, I'll need a way to load a lot of rounds fast and this seem perfect!
Thank you very much sir for your great video! I just got my hc3 tac pack in the mail yesterday.
I haven't got the chance to try it out yet but I am hoping that it solves my reliability problems
Glad I could help.
Good instructional video, Thanks. They look like fun, will have to look into these.
Thank you!
I wasn't on board until about halfway through, much faster reloading!
Thank you! They keep going in and out of stock. I have my name in when they're back in stock I'll post in the community here.
Got mine yesterday!! Love it!!!!
Great Presentation,
Thanks.

First time that I have seen this. Thank You. Illegal in NY though !
Thank you! Sorry to hear high capacity mags are not allowed in your state.
Hey thank you for this video and I was looking for some better quality mags for the 10/22. Great info and thanks again!
Thank you Justin Andras Stikwititfitness for your comment! I greatly appreciate your comments as I get great ideas from you.
The Ruger mags are the best quality mags you can get
This is a sweet setup!
The biggest problems whit most 22 semiautos is juming and 22 ammo quality but a good magazine is always helpful.
Great review and great magazine system! Got the GenII Tac-Pack and it's awesome, great for range days! Won't beat multiple mags for hunting but for the range this can't be beat!
Thank you! As you say, great for the range, not as much for the field.
I bought the tac pac. I do load the mag, the side of the mag and all the stripper clips then stage the clip loader for the next round AND go to the range. I find if I leave a round or two less then max on the clips that I have less problems loading though really my main problem with this is I only shoot every month or so and I just take a few clips to get back into the motion But when I'm in the groove it takes longer to set up targets after you've worn the centers out of the ones you have. The only times I have feed problems are when I have 19 or 20 in the clip, if that misfeeds, going through that little flip motion will stage all the rest and I have no feed problems.
The biggest thing I like about this system is it doesn't bother my arthritis at all where feeding itty bitty 22's into a 10 or 25 magazine will leave my fingers sore for days. I did get one of those Butler Creek Speed loaders and that works really well too.
So if you're going to go out and go through 500 rounds in one go, this really makes that easy. If you're just going out onto the back porch to plink some cans, BX25. Gonna go hunting, original 10 round mag works great. You know, I haven't tried one of those 50 round drum mags yet. Hmmmmmm
Thanks! I agree that this system is more suited for perhaps competition shooting. As I said in the video, not for hunting or plinking. Thanks!
Excellent product. Good video Sir. I will think about getting this outfit. Thank you again Sir. Wade Out.
Thank you!
Just ordered. Shipping was about $20 for 3 day USPS. Thanks.
Thank you! You'll enjoy this.
2-29-2020 currently out of stock, Hoping they get more in stock.
Thank you, On a mission now to find one in Canada, wish me luck.
Very impressive system. 👍
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Hey gary. Im sponged Bobby.. nice to finally meet.
Thanks! Welcome to my channel.
I really need this for my ruger!
Thank you!
You need so many more subscribers!
Thank you! Yes, trying to get to that 1,000 goal. But, as time goes on it seems to grow faster. Kinda exponential.
thank you for the info looks awsome
Thank you!
Reliability.... dig it. Ease of cleaning... dig it. More toys ... dig it. Nice job! Now, if they can get them back in stock. So if you have any idea.... or even prediction, that would be appreciated!
Thank you! Yes, they seem to run out of stock a lot.
thank you 2021 hope they still have it
Thank you!
Very nice, thank you.
Whats the reliability of these mags?
I have had my system for several years now and don't use it much. HC had just started releasing the gen 2 right after I bought mine...They said they would send me the new gen but after several months of saying they would ship they never did....Very poor support as far as I am concerned...
How long did it take you to get this after you ordered it i ordered over 1 month ago and still havent recieved my order, just curious if you had the same issues, this company just put something on their site about a delay, great wish i would have known before i ordered. I called to talk to customer service he said it is, i pictured a guy in his livingroom taking calls
I am also Very curious about the Rifle that you show towards the end. Can you tell me which Rifle this is? Did you purchase it as it is or What Modifications did you make to it? Also, any links to where you purchased the Parts / Accessories. Thanks a ton.
Great video Gary !
Thank you!
@@GarysOutdoors I ordered the 99 dollar set after watching. The carrying case is holding up the order but I'll wait.
WOW very informative sir. I have enjoyed the presentation :) Thank you for taking the time to produce this content.
Thank you!
Wow, I think I like those better than the butler creek..
anyone remember MAX HEADROOM?
I like it
Thank you! Yes, I remember that show.

That was goi g to be my comment, its like watching Max Headroom. Too much editing.
I feel like the 10 round magazine is a waste of time lol.
Nice review. Definitely ordering one of its available.
Thanks! They are taking orders now and will be shipping in mid Feb 2021. See this link: store1.hcmags.com/
Great video
Thanks!
I like that thanks!
Thank you!
Very good idea
Thank you!
very useful info on the mag pack. also, thats quite a lot of video cuts, kinda funny, but doesnt seem too noticable.
Thank you. I am working on my video skills to minimize choppy cuts. Thanks!
I bought the full pack. Two of the holders didn't work... They sell them 5 for $20 , so their cost is probably $1.50 each. Instead of just sending me $3 worth of replacements, the wanted me to send pictures first.... FOR $3 WORTH of THEIR COST... on a $100 order. Customer Service...not.
Empty Magazines are like dead batteries for your cordless tools.
Keep them Charged and keep them Loaded.

Great review. You didn't menchion if there is an option to porches extra individual mags with some strippers.
Thank you! Thanks for the tip!
Does it come with the 545 rounds? Can u use the stripper clips with the 25rnd. Bx25 round clip?
Thank you! It does not come with the ammunition.
I bought one a few years ago. Mine had so many failures to feed that I returned it.
Thank you! Was that the Gen II you got? I believe the Gen II addressed the issue with the feed lips. Thanks for letting us know.
I don'y remember which Gen it was, but it was 4 or 5 years ago.
I have found the secret to the cheap plastic Butler Creek. Now works great
I'll stick with my Butler Creek speedloader and regular "banana" mags, both BC and Ruger, no issues.
Thank you! This is not a system that meets all needs. 👍
Very nice
Thank you!
I’m curious as to why this limits itself to less than the magazine will hold and how can this be used at all for standard 10/22 magazines? Doesn’t seem compatible with magazines like the BX-25
Thank you! That has to do with the design and capacity limit of the stripper clips. A new version is coming out soon and that may be addressed. I don't know for sure yet. I will be reviewing it when it comes out. Stay tuned!
@@GarysOutdoors Terrific! Thank you! I look forward to that!
Why can you not just keep 100 rounds in the speed loader box in the top left. That adds another 100 rounds! But will the weight hurt the loader?
Thanks! You're right! I was just thinking of that the other day. 😁 Great idea and thanks for sharing that! 👍😃 BTW, they are selling again. See store1.hcmags.com/
wow, still load strips, plus mag insertion, etc. I don't think is saves much time.
Thanks! Some love it, some do not. Just like with anything. It is a bit of a learning curve. Thanks.
Hey gary, will that kit work with long rifle 22 bullets?
Thanks! Yes it does.
I bought gen 1 jam jam jam never worked. Hope gen poo is better.
Thanks. Sorry to hear you had trouble with that. I hear from a lot of people that Gen II works well. Did you mention that to HC Mags see if they can give you a deal?
Wow! I was completely unaware of these until I stumbled upon your video while searching for a reliable BX25 mag loader. This seems a little spendy considering that I already have magazines, but then again, considering the complete package you're getting, it's actually pretty well priced, IMO. Hmmm... Now I'm considering picking one of these up... One thing though... I couldn't find a followup range testing video. How reliable/durable has this system been?
Thank you! I've been out to shoot it and will be doing a range video soon. They also have some demonstration videos at the range on the website. See czcams.com/video/oawcumdwaRs/video.html
me too the bmx25's are junk. I have 6. I am going to buy this and give it a try..thanks for the info.. good presentation
Nice. Video..
Thank you!
I can never find the Gen 2 in stock anywhere
Thanks. They seem to keep running out of them.
nice
Thanks!
So many cuts to make his video. who ever edited this video deserves an award
Thanks.
I neglected to ask, will this work with the bx-25???
This system only works with HC Mag's magazines. They provide one and lots of speed clips.
Gary Lundgren is that due to the thumb assist on the mag??
That and I just think it is a good design for speed loading. As with anything, it takes a little getting used to. The original Ruger 10/22 mag is just hard to load for any volume. Then they came out with the BX 25, and Butler Creek replicated that, albeit poorly. I tried Butler Creek and gave them away. Nobody wanted to buy them from me. :-(
Gary Lundgren hehe, no one? As to that magazine, I do a lot of dirt crawling. The open side reminds me of that one WW I french machine gun that had same cutout and jammed a lot. Thoughts?
As I said in the video, it's a system for the range, not in the field hunting. I don't hunt myself. I just like shooting target. We have some competitions here. Thanks.
Why so many jump cuts?
Thanks. I was learning yet and over-editing. Sometimes a few are unavoidable, but not that many. 🙂 Trying to be better.
Would have one but governor says I can't.
Thank you! I understand the frustration. 😕 I'm lucky yo be in a State (PA) where it is Ok to have 30 rd mags. 👍
You could put 500 more rounds in the speed loader,for the next loading,ready, so you have 1000+.
Thank you. I'm not sure how you are counting that as the speed loader only holds 100 rounds. The count that HCMags gives is including 100 in the speed loader. Thanks!
I'm still waiting to see Maglulas offering for a speed loader available Q3 2018.
Thanks! That would be good to see!
Maglula website says they shipped Novemebr 20th but I can't find them anywhere. It's Model # LU30B ... MSRP is $39.95 .... It comes as a kit with a loader and unloader. See it here: czcams.com/video/CtJ56-EONmo/video.html
Too much bling bling and processing for me. I would just prefer to use my 125 drum mag or the
double stack 50 round mags . interesting concept however!
Thank you. For different uses people have different preferences and likes. Good to have a variety available so we can choose. Thanks!
GSG MAKES A 110 RND DRUM....AWESOME.CHAMPION MAKES A COMPACT,RELIABLE,REALLY INEXPENSIVE 30 RND MAG.GETTA BUNCHA THOSE.....AWESOME!!!LIKE 12BUCKS EACH!!!
Hi Gary nice vid are you a robot?
Thanks! Sometimes I act like one. :-)
😂😂😂😂😂
Can you do a video on the smith&wesson m&p 15-22?
Unfortunately I don't have that rifle.
Nifty device. More baggage for the bug out truck.
Thanks!
Thank you for the video very informative, less editing would be nice lol
Thank you! Yes, my editing cuts have been choppy and I am working to polish my skills on that. Thanks!
Gary Lundgren this was the first video I've seen of yours and I really enjoyed it thank you sir 👍
@@GarysOutdoors Cant please everyone
Not easy doing the edit stuff, if it was you could try
Can't find one of these anywhere!
Thanks. Yes, they keep running out of stock. I think their web site is the only sales outlet. Not good inventory planning. I have myself in on the list to get notified when they're in stock again.
One thing it's is not HC it's HK
how it this saving any time at all? all its doing is adding extra steps to load my clip. waste of time and $.
Thank you! Some do find this to be a waste, and others love it.
Are you talking about a clip or a magazine?
'Magazine' is the correct nomenclature. I spent time in Vietnam in CuChi area at the 25th Infantry Division base camp. A lot there referred to them as 'Clips'. For me, either name works. Thanks!
HCMAGS doesn't respond to emails or phone messages. Must be out of business.
Thanks! They can be slow to respond. I think someone with more capital needs to take it over so they can produce what sells.
should be possible to 3D print those stripper clips pretty easily.
Thank you. I'll have to ask my son about that. He's only one I know that does any 3D printing. Is the material created durable enough for an ammo clip?
@@GarysOutdoors there are lots of different materials to 3D print with... most of them are quite durable to use for a clip... if you already have their magazine and just printed up a bunch of the clips to hold those rounds the durability wouldn't be that big of a deal since they're just used to scoop up the rounds and lock them to the back of the mag. if it breaks print up another one... that's the beauty of 3D printing.
Thanks. I had the impression that 3D printing was expensive. ?? Maybe it's the machine?
@@GarysOutdoors The expensive part is the time. Most of the cheaper printers like mine (Ender-4) that currently costs $275 would probably take about 5 hours to print that stripper part in a good quality print and maybe cost about $3 in PETG filament. I'd like 10 to stick in a go bag loaded and ready, so while I'm surfing the web my printer prints away and it'd cost me $30. Not a bad deal, but that'd take a little over 6 days printing 8 hours a day, or since I never pause a print if it takes 5 hours each to print then I'd run it for 10 hours a day. My printer is pretty quiet, and if I had it set up in a back room I'd leave it to print while I sleep as well, but it's close to the bedroom so the little lady wouldn't want to hear it running in the middle of the night. The fastest (and pretty expensive) printers out there would take about 5 minutes to print the part and for about the same cost in materials.
I see. My son must have a cheaper one as he mostly makes RC parts. So yours cost about $3 ea. and from HCMAGS about $4 each. That 25% less! Good deal if you have the patience. 😃 Thanks!
Way too thorough of an explanation but good job
Neet
another tip: after paying $85.00 for that foam contraption, why dont you people DO THAT MODIFICATION YOURSELVES and thereby ship a FULLY FINNISHED PRODUCT, instead of a Mickey Mouse product that is not completely finnished...
Thanks. For some people, they love it. Others have a different opinion. That helps products evolve as people reveal options and possible improvements.
To bad they are Out of Stock. It looks like they out out of business.
Thank you. I checked their site and found a lot of products to be 'out of stock'. I sent them an email to inquire.
@@GarysOutdoors apparently they are still in business and got everything back in stock according to the website.
not worth 85 bucks
Some love it, some do not.
I'd buy 5 right now if I could but Canada :(
The jumpcuts are very obvious and really take me out of the video, I'd rather have you stumble on your words every now and then then jumpcuts, but that's just me. Otherwise nice video seemed well-informed.
Yep. Working on it.
@@GarysOutdoors alright man. Appreciate the response, and I guess I should take a glance over at some newer videos.
Edit: autocorrect messed with some words, just corrected them.
Thanks. I'm a one-man-show so I am learning. I learn from viewer comments. Never as perfect as I would like. As long as I can pass on some info, that helps. Thanks.
This is a Hell of a lot more complicated for what it needs to be. Just carry your ammo to the range in the boxes then load up mags as needed.
Thanks. For some it makes a lot of sense. For others it does not work. I myself love it compared to alternatives.That's the great thing about it. We can pick and choose what works for us. Thanks!
This is a mickey Mouse Contraption
Some love it, some do not. Freedom of choice. Good for product evolution.
