## Abstract

A ready-to-load ammunition container is disclosed, including a housing comprising a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top, and a bottom each defining an interior of the housing. The interior retains a plurality of rounds of ammunition. A first wing is integrally molded to the first sidewall and a second wing is integrally molded to the second sidewall. The first wing and the second wing are each positioned at a bottom portion of the housing to define an opening to allow the plurality of rounds to pass therethrough. The first wing and the second wing are configured to releasably engage with a magazine of a firearm during the reloading process. A push bar is connected to a sliding member to forcibly push the plurality of rounds through the opening.
