RE: Affordable Autoloaders...
Try out one of the semi auto's from Charles Daly. About as cheap as they come($400 and up for 3 1/2" autoloaders), but I have yet to have a mis-fire or a malfunction of any kind with one(even in -18 degree weather). Have put about 6000 rounds throughone in just over three years, and I am looking forward to the next 6000 rounds.
