The 50-round Ram-Line mags suck!!! I just tried loading all my mags with the Ram-Line loader after cleaning them. The 30s are okay but the 50s keep jamming, and denting and destroying the ammo before I can even get it loaded. I was having trouble shooting before but now I'm having trouble loading, so now I know it's nothing wrong with my gun. I'm going to try to get my money back but the warranty expired. If I can't get my money back or get them replaced with some that work I'm going to use them for targets. $150 for 4 mags and they don't even work.  >:(

Thanks for the info. jumbofrank,  I haven't ordered any replacements yet.  But I was looking at some of these, The Butler Creek look like a possibility.

I suggest sticking with a single column mag no matter what brand you get. I don't know if my new mags don't work because they're double column, or if all new Ram-Line mags are that bad. If I can only get "store credit" for mine I'll get the 25-round singles. When I loaded all my 10 and 30 round mags I had 200 rounds ready to go. I thought I could use the 4 new 50s to take the place of the 8 old mags. Even clipped together back to back they take up a lot of room and I was trying to eliminate some bulk. I learned my lesson. If it still works don't replace it.

JMHO, but the only acceptable aftermarket 10/22 mags are made by Tactical Innovations. I like the aluminum ones, but have read good things about the composite piece. Unfortunately the are pricey. You get what you pay for. If you want greater capacity than the factory mags give you, get the best!

The old Ram-Line 30-round mags I got way back when still work great. When I bought them, 6 or 7 of them cost what 1Tactical Innovations 25-round mag costs. You could get 180-210 rounds capacity for the price of 25. There really used to be good cheap mags available. Now I can't even get Ram-Line to answer an email about the crap they're making. No wonder they don't have a lifetime warranty anymore.  >:(

Old single column = cheap & very good.  :)
New double column = an expensive POS.  >:(

It pisses me off so bad that they won't even answer my emails. They won't answer questions about the warranty or anything. Now I think I know how the guys with the "turd by Ruger" pistols feel.

I've had no problems with my Ram-Lines (20, 30 and 50 rounds), bought all of them fairly recently (within last 6 months). I just got a 50-rounder and haven't had it out to the range as yet, though, so we'll see.

Given the few respondents on this thread, we may want to go easy on the snarky Ram-Line and Ruger comments until there is clearer evidence that there actually is a problem with the mags.
