I use stripper clips all the time for loading our M1903s and M1917. The older ones, especially brass with the tabs in place, have become historic accessory pieces so I don't use them. Instead, I use these:

I have about a dozen of them that my wife and I have used for over ten years - many hundreds of rounds -and they show no sign of wearing out.

Use the Lee Enfield and the metal ones for 30 -06. The Lee Enfields inside has to be polished to work
I am keeping a few for my 03A3 and the rest need to find a new home where they are needed. I was thinking about asking .50 cents a piece for them, is that to much to ask? am I shorting myself a lot? I don't want to over charge for them. :icon_scratch:
Here's some more of them to look at and maybe someone can tell a bit more about them. Thanks

I think the upper right one is a .303 stripper.

U.S. M1903 (.30-03 ball)
Lee Enfield (Mk.II charger, Mk.II ball?)
Mosin-Nagant 1891 (early 3-line RN ball?)

correct answer on the clips
I guess i'll put them out in a yard sale for a quarter each to get rid of them, thanks for all the info.
"...Lee Enfields inside has to be polished to work..." Lee-Enfield charges need to be loaded in a specific way to work. Thusly.

Standard .30-06/.308 stripper clips are really handy for carrying other '06/08 based cartridges while hunting. Makes my .243 90 grain FMJ ammo look all 'tactical' and operative. Makes ground hogs quiver in fear too. snicker.

I think I'm down to around a thousand rounds or so of LC 52 M2 Ball, in bandoleers, cardboard pouches and separators, that are loaded onto GI 5 round clips. IIRC, the Creedmoor's run about the slickest, they just seem to disappear the fastest, especially if there's someone else at the range that knows what they are......

They work great... the spring inside needs to be bent to hold the cartridges in place from time to time.
