The Adco Super Thumb Loader for extended capacity Ruger 10/22 magazines takes the most tedious part of a rimfire range day and makes it painless. Anyone who has thumbed round after round of .22 LR into a high capacity magazine knows how quickly sore thumbs and slow reloads drain the fun out of a shooting session. This simple tool changes that for a few dollars.
Why 10/22 owners want an Adco Super Thumb Loader
Rimfire shooting is high volume by nature. Ammunition is affordable, the rifle is pleasant to shoot, and a good afternoon can run through several hundred rounds without much thought.
That volume is exactly what makes hand loading extended magazines miserable. Small .22 LR rounds give your thumb almost nothing to push against, and a high capacity magazine multiplies the problem.
This loader is purpose built to accept extended capacity Ruger 10/22 magazines, the feeding system behind one of the most popular rimfire rifles ever made. Match the tool to the platform and the chore basically disappears.
Plinkers, small game hunters, and anyone running a 10/22 in a fun match all end up in the same place. The rifle is never the limiting factor, and the loading step usually is.

Specifications and fitment notes
Fitment is the specification that matters. Extended 10/22 magazines have a distinct body shape, and this loader is designed around it rather than being a generic tool that sort of works.
Everything else about it is deliberately minimal. There are no moving parts, no springs, and no settings, which means nothing degrades over a decade in a range bag. That is the right design philosophy for a tool whose entire value is being there when you need it.
Buy the Adco Super Thumb Loader that matches your magazines rather than a generic one. Rimfire magazines have their own shapes and their own spring behavior, and a tool built around the right family simply works better than one built around none.
Nothing about the loader modifies the magazine. It sits on the outside, does its job, and comes off, so there is no effect on how the magazine feeds in the rifle.
Practical use, care, and who benefits most
Seat the loader, feed rounds in, and press each one down against the follower. You spend your time on the trigger instead of stuffing magazines, which is the whole reason you brought the rifle out in the first place.
Clean it occasionally and store it with your rimfire gear so it never gets left behind. Youth programs, scout groups, and family range days benefit enormously, because the loading step is usually the part that frustrates a beginner. Pick up extra magazines in our magazines and parts upgrades and preload them all before you head out.
Keep the Adco Super Thumb Loader clipped in the same pocket as your magazines so the two travel together. A loader that lives with the mags never gets forgotten on the bench at home.
Fair warning, though. With reloading this quick you may want to bring a little extra ammunition, because you will burn through your usual supply faster than ever.
For a rifle built around cheap, high volume fun, removing the one annoying step is a bigger upgrade than it sounds. Toss one in the bag and every 10/22 session gets better. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
