Review: HC3R Magazine for RUGER 10/22

- I picked up this magazine because I was intrigued by the thumbstud that allows you to pull down the follower spring, making loading a lot easier on the fingers. Well, let me tell you, that thing WORKS! And that wasn't the only cool feature of this magazine. Check out the video for information on the stripper clip loading and bullet pocket features. The video is long, but very comprehensive. It takes a little practice to get used to the loading process, but once you do...wow...
I was pretty dubious about banana mags after my debacle with the RUGER BX-25. Here's a link to that review video: • Ruger BX-25 Magazine F... - Jak na to + styl
This video is from 2012 - Why have I not seen these mags in 2019? < I bought a 10/22 three weeks ago > and rediscovered the sheer fun of shooting a .22 at age 60. 👍😁
Right? I owned the black synthetic stock carbine with two ruger bx25 mags. Also a ramline 50 rounder. My buddy who committed suicide had gave me it. Almost brand new and I added a bipod on it and polished up the bolt,sear/hammer to,lighten trigger pull,and did the auto bolt release trick,it's so smooth
Bumpy, i was just thinking the same thing!
How the hell did we not know about a beautiful innovation as clever as this AND if we buy we are supporting American small business. Probably just because we haven't noticed, not Google picking what we see. Funny how we see it now, almost like they are pushing for an incident to push gun confiscating. Like maybe Canada right? Confiscating is a weird word
I just bought one for my binary but I will prob pick up another
I’m going to introduce legislation ensuring that all videos are as good as yours. Can I count on your support?
75 years old and still learning thank you
Bought the Tac-Pack based off of your fantastic review! After a long wait for shipping (made all the more aggravating since they ship from my home city about 20 minutes away from me), it finally arrived the other day and WOW! So easy to use! Haven't taken it to the range yet but hand cycled a full 25 round mag with zero failures. Can't wait to take it to the range! Thanks again for an awesome review
Pete, this is probably one of the best made videos I've seen on CZcams made by an individual! I'm always criticizing poor videos and telling people to not bother if they have no clue how to make it informative, but this video is probably the best I've seen. Well Done Sir!!!
second this
I just bought 4 of these for my custom 10 22 and this video explains everything I needed to know and more! Thank you!
What an excellent review! The first time I saw these mags, I just thought it was a gimmick for another 10-22 HC mag that wouldn't work. Thanks for turning me into a believer! Great work!
wheeliepete. 2 quick comments:
1) I agree 100% with your assessment of the HC3R mags, worth every penny. Truly a fabulous product
2) your video without a doubt is one of the best YT video reviews I have seen in several years. Good quality, excellent videography, very direct verbal communicating. Thank you for such a refreshing review. Keep up the good work!
Awesome review, I wish everybody took the time and effort you do! Thx. This is the best mag for the 10/22 hands down!
Dang this mag really seems like a reliable magazine. I've never seen something as innovative as this. Great video.
I have pre-distribution prototype version of this clip. Thanks Mr. Taylor! Glad to see your product made it!!!!

I'm an avid fan of the Ruger 10/22 and since the release of the BX25 factory 25 round magazine and Take-Down, I've renewed my interest with the Take-Down as my go to rifle and a number of BX25 Mags. Today I was at a retail center and discovered this magazine. I ignored the price tag, because I am always game once. The quality of the build, ease of loading AND reloading is all very impressive. I am looking forward to putting this magazine to the test. Excellent review!!! Cheers!!!
Thanks. I first seen your review on the Ruger BX-25 (excellent review) as I am collecting info for my own 10/22 build. Your rifle has inspired me to build one similar and your reviews are helpful (builds are expensive and I don't like to waste money) keep up the good work. Thanks
Thanks so much for the video-instructions as the Magazine came with minimal information as to how-to-use it.
This fits SO MUCH BETTER than the Ruger BX-25 in my Ruger 10/22 TD. The BX wobbles and rattles, but it does work.
The HC3R is a superior magazine. Super easy to load/unload, the stripper clips and the 20xtra round channel are a BIG plus. Glad I got 2 in 1 shipment. I'll certainly buy more.
Cheers.
Just ordered the $99 Tac Pac because of your video. Well made video. Not the usual CZcams debris. Thank you for learning about the product BEFORE you CZcams it.
Just purchased a HC3R. I hope they are as good as everyone says they are. If so I will be buying 6 more. Thank you for the video review. It was very helpful. Thank you.
This is the best video for these mags. I think they are very underrated. People complaining about feeding problems.... ummm its operator error..... i got 4 of these and love my hc3r mags. Just dont put wax covered bullets in them or winchester white box.
Yep I got me 1 of these but it was the case set up, and it makes loading easy, once you figure it out, but it is easy to load up the loaders, man the case looks great, and everything fits really tight as well, 1 trip is when you loaded up the tray, with your finger at the bottom of the tray push up, that 1 got me, but you will love it!!!! Look for the kit,
great review guy. im glad to see a high capacity mag. that has some extra features. and isnt prone to failure as much as others on the market.
I shot about 500 of various 22 ammo and it worked well. Takes some practice, the alignment process is key. I give it a “thumbs up” as well. Great Video
great video! I got the "HCMags Tactical Pack" and can't wait to use it.
Hello WP from Canada. I wish to TY for a tremendous review of this product. I bought one today, and a pack of 3 extra stripper clips. They work wonderfully, and I cannot imagine anyone buying a BX--25 after using these products. You've got a new sub, and again TY.
Thank you this is so simple how every video should be!!!
What a nicely done review! Thank you very much.
This is an awesome magazine for the 10/22's. I will be looking into this magazine. Excellent video and info. Thanks
What an interesting design! I'm going to look into getting one right now!
Wish I could own one of these in NY. Love the product.
Dan, Thanks for the feedback I will work that into the next stripper clip design
Looks like it works great... I just ordered three of them from Shooters Supply... $32.00 each. One for each of my boys and myself.... Thank you for the video.
I had some jamming with my Ruger BX-25 and 10/22. What really helped was cleaning with Hoppes Elite Cleaner/Gun oil (Mpro7) and shooting only plated bullets.
Cool video and mag.
I've been contemplating getting the BX-25, but after seeing this video, I think I'll wait a little while and purchase this one. I have a VERY cheap Eagle 30 round magazine in addition to a single 10 round factory magazine that came with my 10/22. I haven't had any problems with the Eagle, but with its plastic lips something is bound to break at some point. Awesome video. Definitely subscribing after this one.
Filed down the rear and front pins and it now seats pretty well. It did cut into my drinking time, but I'm looking forward to range time.
Why am I just seeing this Magazine. Now I have to have one. Great Video
Nope, I'm sitting on the ones I have. I talked to the owner of the company last week and they are re-tooling so that all parts will be made in the USA so that's pretty cool.
I'm impressed and that's not easy!
Excellent review. I guess I'll be buying some of these when I buy my Ruger 10/22 model.
good, dont buy bx 25 tho its poor quality
A very good, professional review with a direct to point information about the product.
That I appreciate allot, thank you from Norway, subscribed :)
First, wow you know how to compose and deliver information in a video! Second, if there was EVER a better mousetrap, this is it. I will buy 4. I cannot resist brilliance in design that really delivers. Third, thank god himself I prefer my cz's bolt action single shot. That is the only way my ammo stash is going to survive. Again what a well thought out info dense packed no nonsense style you have. Subscribed of course.
I agree with every word !! 100 thumbs up !
Yes it is available in Canada
Great review! I ended up buying one of these and I love it
top notch video work and clear precise commentary. Off to go order a couple of these mags. Thanks
Awesome review. Thanks so much
Wow fantastic review!!! Bought one of these today.
Great video - you explained it perfectly and edited it well. Nice Job!
Great Video! I just ordered two of these great 10/22 Mags.
Good video, I like the rapid load feature.
Looks like a great mag, i think the price is right too. Thanks for the great review!
Sold! Excellent video!
They've actually got a speed loader for the stripper clips now along with caps for the stripper clips so you can load a bunch of them up and have them in your pocket and then just put them in as necessary. I'll be doing a review on them in the near future, I've seen both items first-hand and they work great! Buddy of mine did a review on them already... look up highdesertadventurer on CZcams or HC3R speed Loader and you'll find his video...
I recommend the tactical pack, you get a mag, 5 extra speed loader trays and a box that holds 100 rounds you can feed the speed loader trays from.
First video I have seen of yours, you were on my home page and I saw a 10/22 mag review. Awesome quality content and great info. Will subscribe and like. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Now I just need to contact the maker and see if they have a NJ friendly one
Wow that was very in depth and a great review. Liked and subscribed
Great and highly informative video. Good job!!
Dang man that's super cool, I just started shooting my old 10/22 with a tapco composite stock, the gun is 10 years younger then me at 53 for the Ruger I bought it when I was 17 with a folding stock, which I always hated. in 2017 I put the composite stock on too teach my son to shoot.
I just bought 2 new BX25 they suck, one refuses to lock into the mag well, one locks in and feeds terrible. Hoping this mag and its super cool features solves the issue. Well done video too.
Great video. Very well done and explained. I love this country
I was about to take mine back to the dealer until I watched your video. I see that I failed to perform the alignment process. If that solves the feed issues that I had, I will buy at least one more, and I will buy one for my friends for Christmas gifts! We all have at least one 10/22.
That thing is rad. Thanks for the review. Don't think we get to play with cool stuff like that here in kalifornia.
I just got done building a full custom charger pistol. All aftermarket parts with the exception of the trigger group. All high-end parts such as Kidd, Enoch Industries, Tactical Innovations, Pike arms, and Summit precision. Once everything was all assembled I've had nothing but failure to feed issues. Mainly from the Ruger bx-25 magazines but even a few with the factory 10-round rotary mag. I've been doing all the little tricks that I can hear of for this platform and magazines but nothing has really solved it so far. I believe I have compound issues causing the failures and that the magazine fitment is a lot of the problem but not all of it. I have a few things left to polish and tune other than the magazines. I first tried the GSG drum mag and it fed horribly. I just received my h3 mag set in the mail but haven't had a chance to test it yet. My fingers are crossed that this magazine system helps my feeding issues. So far I have spent about five times as much that I could have bought a factory Ruger charger for and so far it is far less reliable. 😭
You convinced me to get one of these
Looks like a great product that is very well engineered.
Already owning 4 ruger bx25 mags I can't see myself spending the money on this though. Perhaps if it held 40 shots or something like that plus the extra I would spend money on it.
Good video too!
I love my H3CRs. Never a jamb, and holds more than 40 rounds total.
Great video Pete
I bought one, based on what was a great review!
SUPERB video. Truly.
Great video! Thank you! My local gun shop is selling for $20 but I was hesitant to pick one up with other bad experiences from 10/22 magazines. Definitely picking a few up now though!
These have worked good for me, but the loading procedure is KEY. If you don't do the loading procedure right you'll have problems.
I bought a couple of these a few years ago and had lots of jamming problems. The idea is great but I sold mine and got the bx-25 mags instead.
I WANT ONE! Great review!!!
I got it at a local sporting goods store a few years ago. I think it was around $150 or so? Works great with that gun. It's a Bushnell "Banner" 4-12x40mm
That is pretty darned slick!
Nice find, thanks for posting
Nice review, thank you. Will have a look see if anyone in the UK supply.
Perhaps you have found one already, however, if not - Brownells is able to take special orders for the magazine or our new Tactical Pack, and ship to the UK. You just need to call their Special Order line @ 1-800-741-0015, and then they will place an order with us. We are not currently setup in the UK, although we would like to be. Thanks for your interest!
brilliant keep up the good work
I love to own one of Ruger SR-22 with HC3R 45 Round stainless steel magazine.
Thanks for the video review WheeliePete!
Now I'm thinkin' I need a couple of these to go with all my TI-25's. Been out of the new 10/22 accessories loop for a couple years, thought I had everything...
Shout out Sean ranklin
I've noticed that there is a LOT of variation between Ruger's rifles that use the rotary box magazine. My 10/22's fit snug, but it's really tight going into my 77/22. I guess it's better to be on the "tight" side of the equation and just have to do a bit of sanding or filing on the nubs, than it is to have a sloppy fit.
Will fit Ruger 10/22 and any Ruger variants that take the rotary 10/22 style magazine.
looks really nice
seems like a good magazine design.
I bought one at a gun show a couple years ago.
I found it to be a big pain in the butt.
The guy in the video made it look easy, but i found if you didn't do everything just right the rounds would fall over and jam.
Just wasn't worth the hassle, so i went back to the factory mags.
I just shared it on my Face Book, and no problems.
very informative video reminds me of the videos that we watched in the military good job
Looks Sweet !
That's so awsome !
Great Job, thanks for sharing the video
THUMPS UP!
I haven't done any trigger mods to that rifle. I have a target hammer sitting in a box so I may do that soon. In the process of moving to a new larger house and shop so hopefully it won't get lost in the move.
Dan this magazine was designed for ease of use, reloading and reliability.
With normal use the ribclip will not fall out of the magazine. It was not intended to be loaded then dropped.
Pay attention to how he says to properly seat the rounds! I'd watched the video dozens of times but for some reason didn't notice the whole "finger on the feed lips" thing until after I took it to the range n looked like an idiot lol. Once again, thank you for an amazing video review/tutorial!
you have a really good voice for radio, voice overs...
"It's not a clip, it's a magazine!"
"ORLY?"
**confused screaming**
I love the bx25 mag but that looks awesome too maybe ill check her out
It's been a long time since I made that video, but I still use the mags. I haven't looked up the company in a while, not sure if they are still around or not. The mags worked good for me, but the loading procedure has to be followed to get good results. Took a bit to get used to it, but once I did they worked really good for me.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you!!!!!
Lol sounds good. Yeah I heard that too.
Wheelie Pete is correct about his comments on the factors of making products in the USA.
Our long term plans are to have this product and others that are coming to be made in USA. Once we have the financing in place we will bring tooling to the US then all parts will be made here. It's just a matter of time thank you for your support. CEO HCMAGS LLC
Got two of these babies for $7 a piece at my local Big R. They were ticketed at $39.95 but rung up at $7! Complete steal. Had a relative go pick me up a few more a few hours later.
I emailed them a couple of days ago. My .22 was bought new in '09.
If you have the fit problem I had, file the side of the mag post to make the end a little thinner so that it can slide into the plunger. My mags fit like a glove now.
Awe-some. My 10-22 would like to meet this mag in person.

I just found one of these in a retail store in a remote part of my neck of the woods. I guess I should buy a lottery ticket today as well.
