Ramline 50 Shot Clip

edited April 2002 in Ask the Experts
I recently purchased a new Ramline 50 shot clip for a Ruger 10/22 still in the factory wrapper. (It is twice the width of my Ramline 25 shot clip.) The package says the rounds will load side by side, without a key or winding. It does not tell how to load the rounds.

I was only able to load 26 rounds into the clip. They went in one on top of the other. Can anyone tell me how to get them side by side?

    The rounds should stagger in that mag. Not real crazy about the 50's myself. I stick with the 25's.

    The cartridges should stagger automatically as they are fed into the magazine. They will be slightly offset from one round to the next. They shouldn't be stacked right on top of each other, if they are, something must be wrong. From what I am hearing, I'd say you just need to push a bit harder OR it's not really a 50 round magazine. I suppose it's possible someone put a 25 round magazine in a 50 round wrapper. Towards the very bottom of the mag, it should say MAT 1150. Is that the case?

    If it says 1150, just push a bit harder.

    Clips are for Garands.

    10/22's use magazines.

    Sorry about being such a novice (clip)...it is a 50 round magazine with the MAT 1150 designation.

    Sounds like you might have a defective mag. Try like stated above and push the rounds in a little harder. They should be staggering and not stacked straight like they do in your 25 rounder.

    Don't worry about the "clip" vs. "magazine" debate--language is dynamic, the terms are used interchangeably by the bulk of the population these days. Some "purists" still like to make the distinction--which is fine, but as long as what you're saying is understood, it really doesn't matter which word you use.

    Now to your question: Before the 1994 ban, I had some of Ramline's "double column" 10/22 magazines; I could not get them to work right and returned them to Walmart (where I had purchased them).

    The only high-capacity 10/22 mags I've been 100% satisfied with are Butler Creek's--just my personal experience.
