.22 LR Case Loader

.22 Cartridge Sorter/Loader Assist

This is a tool I made to streamline loading .22 cartridges into my .22 case design (https://www.printables.com/model/1086578-22-lr-ammunition-case).

 Loading 200 rounds one at a time is predictably tedious, so I came up with this to speed things up. 

How It Works

1. Sorting the Rounds: Pour in up to 100 rounds and lightly shake the tray. Most of the rounds will drop into place, though you may need to nudge the last few into their slots with a finger.
2. Indexing: Place the indexing plate on top and shake gently side to side. The nubs on the plate align the rounds and set the spacing for loading.
3. Loading: Align the tray over the case and slot the rounds in. Once they’re in place, remove the indexing plate and slide the sorting tray to the side to release the rounds. Avoid lifting the tray, as it can disrupt the alignment.
4. Repeat as Needed: Reload and repeat the process for the next batch.

The loaders use does require some "technique" to figure out, It’s not perfect, but it does make the process much quicker. Hopefully, it’ll save you some time!

If You Have Made it This Far..

If you feel the design and print are the “best thing since sliced bread” and have an irrepressible urge to demonstrate some form of appreciation! A buymeacoffee donation, while not expected, is always appreciated! 

I also accept (virtual) pats on the back and fist bumps,  along with comments like “this is totally rad” and all other forms of positive affirmation.
