  • Patent number: 11340032
    Abstract: 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.
