BerettaSV10 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Can see me dropping cartridges, though he does make it look easy on the loading of 2 cartridges, but a bit fiddly if you only want to load one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I saw them in sporting gun a while ago, at £ 90 each, I think I will stick to my trusty old pocket or cartridge bag......

HDAV Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Anyone seen one of these? http://www.monkeyloader.com/ Seems a bit awkward to me! C. Hmmmm The Monkey™ holds – 28 cartridges of 28gm length or 24 cartridges of 30gm. surely the case length is the importat bit not the shot weight?

Jolly Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 at £20 I could be interested but not at £90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantinos Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Might as well go get a bandolier, the more I watch the guy using the loop "live", the more I think it's a nuisance! i sense that i'd probably worry more about the cartridges than the birds....

I've got a better idea......... you could tie the bandolier around your waist, a bit like a belt............. oh ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoQuad Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 looks like some of the stuff you find in Betterware catalogues that you never knew you needed. You know the sort of thing gas torches for corns, battery driven pluckers for nasal hair, plastic template guides for cutting even slices of bread and much more! I reckon most folk would be able to get 2 cartridges out of their pocket faster and more assuredly than they would messing with this! Anyone got one and can say different?

Constantinos Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've got a better idea......... you could tie the bandolier around your waist, a bit like a belt............. oh ! ditto SakoQuad - just put them in your pocket...

enfieldspares Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I am a conventional right handed shot and load from the left coat pocket using the left hand and found it quicker than a fellow shot using...as directed in their video...a Monkey Loader as of course my hand has less distance to travel to and from the pocket to the breech of the gun. He copied what I was doing and also found it quicker. And was quite upset he'd spent £79.00 on a an extra piece of extra kit that was slower than using no extra kit! Simple and if you shake that left pocket first...as per Robert Churchill's advice...the cartridges present "heads up". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breastman Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I was bought one by a well meaning relative and found it incredible cartridge length sensitive. Most 70mm cartridges seem to sit in the dispenser part almost exactly flush with where the material meets the metal, this prevented reliable feeding into the mechanism of the next cartridge as they would sit on the rim, rather than drop in. If I used short or long cartridges though it worked reasonably well. Still a bit gimmicky though and it now just gathers dust at the bottom of my bag.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think they are the unnecessary answer to a problem that doesn't exist! Must be loads sitting at the back of cupboards across the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
