I want to buy a speed loader for my ak, just want some advice from your guys.  also, do you guys load your magazine to the max? I've heard that if you load the max, you tend to wear out the spring, is that true.   thanks.

I use a LULA speed loader and yes I can load to full capacity without any issues.

LULA for the loader, about $20 +/- a little.

Not true.

Leaving mags loaded won't hurt them.Having a loaded mag in a time of need is wise ( i have to scare the crap out of Bears passing by on occaision and it scares the crap outta them LOL).

When out plnking,i feel it's better to leave the speed loader at home.Propping an empty shotgun shell between the charging handle and trunnion to hold the bolt open helps cool the barrel.Loading the mags give the rifle time to cool some before shooting again.

Have fun and always keep one full mag at home so you still have ammo when you get home

thanks for all you guys help.  I feel much better now.   I was worry at little that have a full loaded bullets would harm my springs.
