During its review of the Caldwell AR-15 Mag Charger, American Rifleman characterized the magazine loader by saying:

“We found the 50-round charger quick to use, with either factory boxes or the provided transfer tray. Simply align the cartridges with the loading ports and dump, ensuring rounds land ‘bullet down’ in the charger. Once loaded, snap a magazine into the well and, using the plunger, start pumping to fill the mag in seconds. And it’s affordable. Anything that makes loading magazines easier will catch our attention, but the Caldwell AR-15 Mag Charger caught the Accessory of the Year.”

Featuring an innovative design, the Caldwell AR-15 Mag Charger allows users to load 50 rounds of ammunition into two magazines in less than 15 seconds. Simply place 50 rounds into the Mag Charger, which will automatically align each round, then insert the AR magazine and operate the plunger back and forth. Each stroke loads 5 rounds until the magazine is fully loaded. An Ammo Transfer Tray allows for the staging of ammo and can be used to invert ammo for optimal positioning. Manufactured of a highly durable polycarbonate construction, the Mag Charger is compatible with .223, 5.56 and .204 ammunition.

Battenfeld Technologies President, Jim Gianladis, said, “On behalf of everyone at Battenfeld Technologies, we are truly honored to receive the prestigious Golden Bullseye Award. The Mag Charger is a great example of the innovative spirit that is the foundation of our culture. Our entire organization is focused on product development and we continuously strive to achieve breakthrough innovations.”
