Good for the range
The only problem I had with it is trying to load it the little notches for your thumb is not deep enough and after several loadings your thumb get sore. I just wish they would have made it better to load

Works pretty well
We only used it once. Had a few misfeeds. The rounds werent feeding up tight into the lips. Might be our technique, or the design. But for the most part it ran and delivered 50 .22 bullets downrange. Lots of fun!

High Quality 50rd Drum
I was skeptical to purchase this high capacity mag but I"m sold and so are others who have used it. I cycled just under a 1000 rounds(Armscor, 40) after taking it out of the box. No Jams, failures, mis-feeds what so ever, through a M&P15-22. This mag works better than the stock 25 rounder and I can load this mag just as fast as using a speed loader. Yes the bolt won't stay open on last shot but I could care less about that. We'll see how long this mag lasts over time, but it is def built solid(dropped 2x) My only complaint is that I think it is over-priced and yes you have to be careful when loading, as to not get a round stuck backwards in the feeding tube. Next time I will try CCI quiet

Almost perfect!
I just used this BDM 50 round drum in my SW MP15-22 for the first time yesterday. The drum is just a bit heavier than I anticipated but not bad and seems well made. I had it loaded with CCI Stinger 40 gr lead round nose ammo. Only after I loaded the first round or two did I notice I had the flat-tip SG rounds but decided to put all 50 in the drum to test. The drum fits as snug as the factory SW mag. All 50 rounds fired without issue. The drum gets four stars since it doesn't lock the bolt back after the last round is fired. I can live with that issue.

Works great!
Magazine loads and feeds flawlessly. Will purchase another when I can afford to. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the lack of last round bolt lockback.

decent 50rd drum
There reason i'm rating it a 3 out of 5 stars is because the thing you turn to load the ammo is really painful without thick gloves to load cause it digs into your thumb badly, and while loading you need to keep it tipped back or ammo with slide / shoot out of it which is annoying but is easily avoidable, other than those 2 reasons its a good mag, havn't add any get stuck in there unless i loaded it incorrectly or using bad ammo.

Fell apart in less than 1000 rounds
I really loved this drum while it worked. Unfortunately, the belt fell apart with the dummy rounds falling out of the neck. Black Dog Machine, LLC would not fix although it was still under warranty and told me I would have to purchase the internals and fix myself. Stick with the standard 25 rounds mags and to date have had zero issues with the 8 mags I own with thousands of rounds cycled.
