stripper clips

[lanceriley]

does anybody use stripper clips to load ammo in their mags? just curious....

[arizonaranchman]

Yes, I like them.

[Cascades236]

Heck yes

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Did it for a carbine class. More time thinking, less time jocking mags. "spoon" works on pmags too. Bit of a technique to charge them, gloves help with making sure that stripper edge doesn't 'paper ut' hand.

[ford7379trucks]

for target shooting. No
for SHTF. YES

[devilsdeeds]

Doesn't make sense to me unless your buying the ammo that comes with them pre-attached. I don't see how taking the time to put the ammo on the clip and then into the mag is faster than just putting them in the mag with a lula. BUT I've never used the clips so I have no clue!

[No.6]

Sure do. I load my rounds into stripper clips, then into a bandoleer for storage/easy transport. When it's time to load a magazine, then I use the Maglula Striplula. Takes about 7~8 seconds to load a 30rd PMAG. Gives you more time to hydrate at training classes.

[militarymoron]

i use them all the time. saves time at the range or out in the desert. i load them up while watching tv etc, so there's no 'extra' time spent.
i use a striplula to load the mags instead of the USGI spoon. works awesome.

[Adam0331]

I use them. I load them up when I've got nothing better to do so I can just throw them in mags when I'm ready to hit the range.

[trappernana]

Absolutely, Saves time later!

I had never even heard of the striplula before this thread. Does it really work as well as in the video on their website?

[mike_556]

Yes....after a reloading session once I get 840 rounds loaded I repack an ammo can.....

[THCDDM4]

I use them as well, pre-loading them for when I need them.

[polishnightmare]

Any places that sell clips to speed loading mags?

You guys have me tempted to get some(even though I just got a lula)!

[ST911]

Another vote for stripper clips. They save a lot of time, space, and bother.

What amazes me most about them is the number of people who have never seen or used one. Went to a carbine class a year or two ago and had some folks who I thought would've known better ask, "that's neat, how'd you do that?"

I would avoid chicom NCstar like the plague...Get some surplussed USGI strippers and chargers...I have a LOT but I believe Old Grouch's or similar carry them..

You're on the internet--you can find some ;)

it's the best loader i've used so far for loose rounds and stripper clips. i prefer it to the maglula and c-mag loader.

[telecustom]

All of my ammo is on Stipper clips. I use the Beta C-mag loader for all my mags.

Better. Really does speed up the loading. Simple to use, compact and light. Well worth the money, IMO.

[GermanSynergy]

Yes I do.... I put 3,000 rds of ammo on stripper clips/bandoleers/ammo cand on Sat. Makes range trips and carbine classes easier....:ph34r:

[rsgard]

How fast can you load a mag with stripper clips? Just asking because in Ohio we cannot have loaded mags in a vehicle. Makes it a pita when going to the range.

[GermanSynergy]

A few seconds with a loading spoon....

[kaiservontexas]

I use them on my USGI magazines. I never tried with a PMAG. I keep several magazines loaded too boot. I had no idea the striplula existed. I will have to pick one up sometime.

[militarymoron]

i just remembered i made a video demo of the striplula a while back - here it is:

Works like a charm with PMAG's.

[rychencop]

i use them all the time.

[macnamara]

Some good info here guys. Just ordered me a stripLULA and upLULA and a bunch of stripper clips (ebay). Cheers!

[lanceriley]

just tried the stripper clips on a aluminum mag, pmag and a lancer mag. works!

[devilsdeeds]

Surplus ammo can is my plan.

My have always come pre-loaded with M855 in carboard sleeves and bandoleers. The link is just to show what I am talking about and I have no stake in any sales.

[ForTehNguyen]

buy a striplula

Repack 840 rounds at a time in USGI bandos and a 5.56 can;)
I include a charger in each bando too

[LCoan]

All of my ammo is on Stipper clips. I use the Beta C-mag loader for all my mags.

This is basically the only time you should you use a Stripper Clip, although, those .22 Ruger mags would be a heck of alot easier to load!

[prairiefire]

Got HUNDREDS of 'em. Very handy, and they do stack well-inside an ammo can anyway. Found out that 1100 rds. of 5.56mm in stripper clips fits VERY SNUGLY inside a .50 cal. ammo can.

Ya want some, Lance? Can give you in the next CPRA rifle match.:p

[lanceriley]

thanks prairiefire,

I actually got 2 chargers and 30ish strippers. Just looking for other uses :D or how other people use em :D thanks for the offer though :D

[Surf]

I guess since my ammo comes in boxes with the plastic 10 round carriers I have no need to think about using stripper clips.

[clasky]

I use them. Much faster at training classes.
