New Eller Speed Feed Ammo Caddy from Creedmoor Sports
Placing your loaded ammo up high, next to your rifle’s loading port, can help you shoot faster, without disturbing your position behind the rifle. Many top 600-yard shooters, such as Sam Hall and Mike Davis, have fabricated their own high-mount cartridge caddies to place 10 or more rounds right next to their loading ports. With such a set-up, and a bit of practice, ace benchresters can fire 10 rounds in as little as 30 seconds.
If you’re handy with tools, you can build your own cartridge caddy from a block of delrin or wood, and a flexible mounting arm. But it does take time, and you may end up going through two or three prototypes before you get it “just right”.
Now there’s a “store-bought” solution. Creedmoor Sports offers the new Eller Straight Line Speed Feed Cartridge Holder. The Eller caddy has a large base that will support it on the bench. The flexible black stalk allows you to set the height and angle of the ammo block to your choosing. You can arrange your ammo horizontally, vertically, or something in-between. This unit can benefit any bench competitor, and we’ve even see this type of unit adapted by F-classers for “Belly Benchrest”. The Eller Cartridge Holder costs $94.95 and comes in two sizes: Small (6mm to 6.5×284), and Large (6.5×284 to magnum). Order item #E1002SM from Creedmoor Sports.

While this is a valuable asset to have on the shooting bench, the cost is absolutely ridiculous. You can duplicate this for $30 or even less. I see no need for this to have a $95 price tag, as it probably cost $5-$10 to manufacture.
If I am missing something, and this truly is more than a flexible desk lamp with a cartridge block attached where the bulb should be than I need to be debriefed on what makes this worth $95.
It bears a striking resemblance to the desk lamp I converted into a shell holder, and that cost me less than $30.
I totally agree but then creedmores prices aren’t all that in touch with reality.
They don’t carry this anymore. It has been discontinued apparently.
