30 cents a round seems to be the going price at many internet stores,
but I don't mess with stripper clips.

I doubt your AR will even use stripper clips. I can see why you don't
mess with them. My M1A can directly charge the magazine in the gun
from the top with a stripper clip and the bolt kicks it out of the
holder when you close it.

The PMAGs I use can be loaded with stripper clips. I have no reason to
do that, though.

I agree, that is not that big a deal if you are just loading on the
bench but being able to load the mag in the gun is handy.
You can get 10 rounds in the gun almost as fast as a magazine change,
either charging a dry mag or just topping one up. It is the way you
deal with zombie pop bottle attacks ;-)

I really have not done this at the range because I usually just take 3
or 4 charged magazines (30s) with me and that is about all I want to
shoot that gun before I want to try something else.
These days I only go when the electrical contractors association have
their "shoot". (a day of eating, socializing and networking at the
range)
Typically I will shoot 90 or 120 rounds of 308, 2 boxes of 12ga and a
box each of .45 and one of either 9mm or 380.
That gets "shooting" out of my system for a while.

I drive to the ranges with my firearms in their cases/bags, my mags
empty, and my ammo in a separate range bag. Driving around here with
loaded mags will get you in a heap of trouble if you are stopped by the
boys in blue for any reason. It's no big deal to load up a PMAG or a
Ruger Mark III mag.
