Ruger 10/22 Magazine Options and Review

In this video I discuss offerings from Butler Creek, Ramline, Ruger, and Tactical Innovations.

[@Nitro4294]

I use Butler Steel lips and Ruger BX-25's, both work really good. Haven't had a problem with either after thousands of rounds through all of them.

[@NatePlaysMM]

I just tried out my 25 round steel lips mag yesterday with federal ammo. It had a bit of a loose fit to it, but it didn't hang up or jam once....tons of fun!

[@Shane-Singleton]

@PeteFromMaine I just picked up the Ruger BX-25 for mine. Feels like a really well made product. It can be taken apart as well and cleaned. Haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet as I just bought it yesterday but I am very much looking forward to it. I've had feed problems with the Buttler Creek Hotlips. Might have been the shitty ammo I was using. But we'll see. Again very much looking forward to trying the BX-25.

I have been useing the same 7 Ram-Line double stack 30 round magazines for 20 years now. (CCI Mini-Mags only) I have been through 8 Ram-Line 50 rounders. They do not last long. If I ever need new mags, I will go with the Ruger BX-25. (or the Tactical Inc.)

[@kevjay777]

I just bought one which was manufactured in 1966 (in excellent shape!) but it came w/o the mag. I can't find any info on what the early guns came with. I know it was the 10 round rotary but wouldn't they have been made of metal back then? I haven't called ruger yet that's probably the only way to find out. Not likely I could find one though. Excellent video you made here.

[@walnutrd]

Thanks for the nice review. Very informational for a person like me considering buying a 10/22.

[@Wazoo117]

I've got a 50 round double stacked ram-line that was imported from Australia. :D It is Hot Lips and has been dropped before so currently it's being held together with some super glue. Works great as long as you don't drop it again.... lol

[@BretMenoche]

I just picked up 1 of those 30 round ram-line mags. Just wanted to see what you thought about it? Thanks.

[@davidnichols1568]

Thanks for sharing this video. Did you have a BX-25? I was wondering how thay work?

[@Thundarr995]

They suck unless you modify them. They are temperamental in some rifles and some they work fine in. They didn't work in my rifle. Jammed all the time. I polished the underside where the bullets feed,massaged the area where the feels ramp area with a small rat tail file and polished it with a Dremel/ Mother's chrome polish. Pit kidd extractor and heavy spring plunger spring. Drilled and tapped that little bump lock tited some tiny Allen screws in it. Made sure they didn't protrude into the mag. Then I ground the heads down so the magazines fit tite. And I shimmied the internal mag spring with a cut down 22LR shell. After all that they work great.

[@walnutrd]

Nice review. Just wondering though, have you had problems with the adjustment screws eating into the underside of the receiver? I was about to purchase these mags from TI and there was one such comment from a customer, although others seem happy.

[@PeteFromMaine]

Ruger now makes a 25 round mag steel lip, as reliable as their 10 round rotary, bx-25, I have two of them and they have never jammed even with cheap federal ammo....

[@SGTDave]

I have two BX-25 mags, and they both jam constantly.

[@wolfie83]

black dog make a 50 round drum mag which works pretty darn good.

[@randytsrvideos]

how do you load the hot/steel lip ones with 25 any tool to push the last 5-10 rds in there? it gets harder for.me to load after like 15 rds.

[@AngryGunNerd]

double stack mag isn;'t super reliable. now the TI mag on the other hand, buy it. They make a plastic one with metal feed lips (that i have in the video), but they have more expensive ones that have metal bodies if you want to go that way. i just really like the ability to take it apart and clean it down the road, if it ever needs it. it seems like a durable product, not a consumable like the other 25 rounders.

[@huntsvillecoin]

I'll buy one of the 25rnd ones I need one bad!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Good video, I a on the fence about whether to pick a TI mag. Does that double stack 30 worked well for you? Think I will use it as an excuse to go to a gun show.

[@AngryGunNerd]

@blaziankhmer mine has a very slight wiggle left to right, but its solid front to back. i hope that makes sense.

[@newnum2]

yeah I have one clear one and it won't drop. the black ones pop out fine.

[@Doctorchops]

I've seen those Hot Lips magazines deteriorated to the point of having huge chunks missing lol

[@79Testo]

@AngryGunNerd does butler creek make a 50 round clip for the 10/22 with steel lips? I'm looking for one...no drum models wanted.

[@pauloftarsus8145]

my question would be are the 10 round mags easy to get into the gun? Ive seen the high capacity mags and they take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes to get one in. During which time the bad guy could walk up on you (stop and have a cigarette on the way) from a quarter mile away and club you to death with a blunt metal object. While you are trying to get the mag in. Lol. Just sayin.

[@ru2yaz33]

My BX-25 magazines are a piece of junk, they nose dive the ammo. Keeping my fingers cross on the Butler Creek. I had an old Eagle 25 round magazine that literally wore out after thousands of rounds over several years. Thanks for info on other magazines.

[@westonfaulhaber5589]

Ru2yaz I bought bulk ammo for mine and my Bx-25 is the only one that works besides the factory mags.

[@A-SM1TH]

Butler creek mags kinda suck mine wobbles and if you don't push the mag forward a little it will have problems feeding

[@jasonnorthcutt4008]

They're made by Ruger. contact the company they will fix or replace guarantee it. Ruger stands behind their merchandise.

[@SuperDuperSpectre]

do they have any straight mags? I just dont really like the bannana look to those ones.

[@TheMajHavoc]

have you tried the BX15 yet ?? I've heard alot of good things about the Butler Creek 10/22 auto loader which is my next acquisition for my arsonal

[@mrmateo513]

will the ruger bx-25 magazine fit a intratec tec sport 22?i usually use the ramline 10/22 mags or the steel lips 10/22 mags and was wanting to try the ruger bx-25 mags

[@1464pokemon]

I bought a Ruger 10/22 Clear .22 LR Magazine and found the Magazine is always stuck in my gun(brand new ruger 10/22 rifle). I had to use my finger to push is out from the inside.

[@flyguy298]

question idk if you know but i was wondering do a intratec tec 22 shoot fully-auto?

[@Jordaanius97]

Are these mags still good if I can't get BX-25's in Canada ( damn shipping regulations )

[@SixTwoHemi]

Just bought two hot lip high caps lol to call the junk is being nice

[@mrwhiteinca]

i personally know RamLine is garbage. All of mine have ended up in the trash can due to failure. I did learn that in order to make them work at all, they must be kept incredibly clean, and also powdered carbon helps the internals move correctly but compared to others their tolerance is "intolerable." The problem with keeping them clean is that they don't come apart. do not buy "JamLine" mags for your 1022.

[@AngryGunNerd]

@TheyxSeexMexTrollin I want one of the Ruger brand mags, but I'll probably never get one considering how many I currently have.

[@79Testo]

@AngryGunNerd Ruger mags can't come to Canada, they messed up on marketing their product here. Ruger labelled them as being handgun compatible and Canadian law has a technicality on that. If Ruger can get the BX 25 into Canada we are gonna be happy up here. You like the butler creek mags, the majority of people I talk to hate them....they constantly jam up. How many times have the butler creeks jammed up on you?

[@A-SM1TH]

Butler creek wobbles and if it not pushed forward a little bit it will have problems feeding

[@A-SM1TH]

I have the plastic lips I think the metal ones work better the plastic wear out fast

[@FootballisLife862]

Smitwrap wrap some electrical tape around the top of the mag under where the nudge is that the clip holds it in the gun. And it will work for a while. It mis feed because the angle of the clip is out of line due to wear on the clip

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

Factory mags are the way to go, in my opinion. Factory mags are not that expensive

[@SEOKLADUCKIN]

The weak link in the ruger rifle

[@1948tedebear]

All !?

[@treerat7631]

The steel lips suck too get ruger factory mags

[@michaelhoran407]

Your video isn’t focused.

[@treerat7631]

Don't buy butler creek. Grad mags that crack

[@joshualaszacs1152]

Clean your mags dude, those are pretty dirty

[@stgeorge5862]

Guns are tools

[@FootballisLife862]

@@stgeorge5862 yea but not garden tools😂 they need cleaning for proper function

[@davidv292]

34$ for an aftermarket mag, lmao no thanks I can get a 2 pack of bx-25s for 38$ online.

[@MrBrad777c]

Yeah agreed on BX-25s being the obvious choice....but keep in mind he made this back in 2011.....my personal experience is the ONE ramline I had was good.....but alot of people say jamomatic online.....butler creek plastic lips suck.....steel lips good.....and BX25s flawless. I still enjoyed the video....some good info.

[@Chatekitey72]

The h3 can hold 45 with a ribclip I think the bx and h3 are best options

[@MrBrad777c]

@@Chatekitey72 Yeah I have never tested the HC3Rs.....below is a search for anyone interested in a good review of them. Honestly looks kind of gimmicky.....and I'd rather just have BX25s ready to go.....but being able to CARRY 45 rounds (not loaded tho) is pretty cool in itself. I may have to test them out on my channel.....I"ve looked at them before.....but might be worth a closer look. Review: HC3R Magazine for RUGER 10/22

[@Chatekitey72]

@@MrBrad777c I will definitely check it out if you decide to do the review! The 45 rounds is drawing me in as well, it seems like an easier alternative to sourcing old ram line mags.

[@MrBrad777c]

@@Chatekitey72 Thanks brother.....will look further into it.
