What is your fastest time record for loading a 30 round (5.56) magazine both manually and with the speed loader? Any recommendations for the best loading technique?

bolt said:lay out your rounds, ensure the mag is firmyl seated (either in your hand, on your leg or on the ground) and load rounds at a steady pace. 60 seconds goes pretty fast if you start dropping rounds because of rushing. If you can do it under 45secs you're doing well.
