I have heard there are issues with the clips used with the HXP surplus. I have bought/shot & still have thousands of rds of it from back in the day,, I love the stuff. I always thought it was more accurate than the LC surplus I have, anyways I have heard about the clips & if you look at them I think the park is "thick" on them! I think some guys over at the CMP Forum have said tumble them for a while and it knocks it down some. I never have tumbled any and really have never had any issues with them but that could be worth a try. I will say one thing for sure about the HXP & that's that the Sealent on the bullet is very strong on some of the rds, I also read this @ CMP and have done it and my results were better & the thing to do is put the rds in your press and just seat the bullet a hair deeper, I mean just enough to where you hear the sealant POP! Breaking that sealant helps with accuracy & it definitely was noticeable in my rifles. I feel it's worth the time to crack that almost 50-year-old sealant and see what it does for ya. Let me know if ya do it and if you think it helps!
A few clip places if ya can't find any Local.
