A method and apparatus for storing and loading ammunition cartridges are disclosed. An ammunition apparatus may comprise a bay that is substantially cylindrically shaped, an access channel, a slide restraint, and a saddle. The access channel may be a cross sectional cutout in the bay. The slide restraint may comprise five fins shaped to track the contour of the tapered end of a cartridge. The saddle may be disposed on the outside of the bay, opposite the access channel, and may be shaped to complement the contour of a cartridge. An ammunition tray may comprise multiple ammunition apparatuses secured together. A user may load a cartridge from an ammunition tray into a magazine by using an ammunition apparatus saddle to partially displace an already loaded cartridge and then using his or her thumb to slide a cartridge from the ammunition tray into the magazine.

A magazine loader comprises a body for receiving an upper portion of the magazine and a cap slidingly engaged with the body for loading cartridges in to the magazine received by the body. The body comprises a plurality of wall portions defining a body cavity configured to receive an upper portion of a magazine. The plurality of cap wall portions may comprise a starboard cap wall portion and an opposing port cap wall portion. An upper portion of the body is slidingly received in the interior volume defined by the cap so that the body and the cap slide relative to one another along a sliding axis. The sliding axis may extend in the upward and downward directions and the cap may translate between an upper position and a lower position along the sliding axis.

A magazine loader includes a main body and a rounds cavity having first and second downwardly angled portions positioned at a rounds aperture. A plurality of rounds are provided to the rounds cavity and are movable along a movement plane abuttingly defined by an inner main body surface. With the opening of a magazine positioned adjacent to the rounds aperture, as the rounds are moved towards the rounds aperture, a second round end of each round successively passes over a first downwardly angled portion and the pivot point of each round successively abuts a second downwardly angled portion and pivots the second round end of each round towards the magazine opening, so that each round successively enters the magazine.

A cartridge container for firearms is provided that includes a plurality of brackets coupled to an outer cover in such a way that the brackets may be readily independently removed from the outer cover. The brackets are configured to then be used to rapidly load cartridges stored in the brackets into a magazine.

An apparatus for loading cartridges into a pistol magazine comprises a main unit with a magazine holder having an opening configured to receive a pistol magazine with a first long axis and a tray having an elongate channel configured to arrange a stack of cartridges along a second long axis laterally offset from the first long axis. An angled wall extends across the elongate channel toward the opening at a non-zero angle relative to the second long axis. A sleeve covers the cartridges in the main unit, and a handle is movable relative to the main unit to cause the cartridges to be pushed into the magazine. Moving the handle is continued to cause each of the cartridges in succession to be tilted by the angled wall and loaded via the opening into the pistol magazine along the first long axis.

A cartridge clip loader includes a clamping frame; a clamping groove used for placing a cartridge clip is formed in a front side of the clamping frame; a clamping groove penetrates through an upper end face and a lower end face of the clamping frame; a limiting structure is arranged in a lower port of the clamping groove; a bullet pressing tongue plate is arranged in an upper port of the clamping groove; a grip and a linkage mechanism are arranged on a rear side of the clamping frame; one end of the grip is hinged to the clamping frame; the grip is connected to the bullet pressing tongue plate through the linkage mechanism, so that the bullet pressing tongue plate can move up and down in the upper port of the clamping groove.

A Pack & Load ammunition packaging and loading device, containing thirty round, with a coupling mechanism for directly and mechanically loading ammunition rounds into standard rifle and pistol magazines. The device has a cup to engage the magazine and a pusher mechanism to quickly force the ammunition into the magazine as it mechanically feeds the round from the sleeve of the device made of a clam shell set of side rails coupled with a hinge on one side and interlocking teeth on the other. Filament brushes in the cup retain the ammunition and the device has a removable tab and slot to enable partial fills from the device. It eliminates the manual feed and quickly places the rounds into a standard magazine ready for use.
