New Automag III Mag loading tool

Following up on the success of my 357/44 AMP magazine loading tool (available on eBay), after visiting with John Lodahl a few weeks back I decided the Automag III community needed a similar tool. He provided me with the various measurements of the Automag III magazine, and I had my manufacturer alter the dimensions of the existing tool to fit the new requirements. I just received a light-duty prototype, intended to just test the form factor of the new design. 

I am mailing it to John for evaluation in the morning. He will make any needed design inputs, and a second generation prototype will then be crafted. The 357/44 tool required four rounds of prototypes but I’m hopeful the lessons learned there will enable us to get this one right after just the second (or with luck, the first) try. 

I’m hoping to have them ready for the market by February. Stay tuned!

Any plans for making one for the AMT IV, 45WM also?  

I went to the range and fired 150 rounds and the tool worked perfectly:

I will be making them available on Ebay soon.

Just like the loader for the 44/357, this was a huge finger saver.  Made loading the mags easier (and faster).

I hate to do this to you my friend, but about the only criticism that I have is that it makes loading the mags so much easier that I go through more  ammo.  

Definitely another tool needed by any AMT III shooter.

Thanks!
