      Very cool, but I am looking for storage combined with quick loading.
      I will be reloading a few thousand rounds of .223 and having them just dumped bulk into a box does not appeal to me so storing them on stripper clips seems to me a more attractive idea. That and the fact that I have a few hundred stripper clips.
      ps Yes those maglula stripper devices are cool and very easy to use.


      ETA That Caldwell Device will be $77 @ Midway once they get them in. Overdue according to the Midway site. Hope that doesn't mean problems.

        I just load strippers while watching a movie at home. Can do it without really paying much attention to the ammo or clips.

          Since GI ammo comes on the clips to begin with, the machine to do it is sitting at the Lake City ammunition plant. Looks like you are doing them by hand.

            It's so funny you ask...I started loaded 1k while watching a movie. When I started my wife asked "You need help?" I said sure. As she was loading she said "The things I do for you!" Love...

                Hate that about USGI stripper clips! I've since switched to Canadian C7 stripper clips. They were much cheaper 15 years ago.

                    Although I suppose if you want high speed low drag, you could buy this

                    I believe they call that a "spoon". The Striplulu also works well. I just bought one because the Swiss ammo I bought on stripper clips uses a different size stripper that doesn't fit a US spoon.
                    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...
