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 box came with an attachment for the clip.

I have a couple of those magazine loader "spoons" John was talking
about but I have never used them. I always load the magazines from
loose rounds. I do have some battle packs in strippers but I haven't
even opened the bags. I have a bunch more in strippers in a can but I
haven't got down to shooting them either. I am still working on stuff
that was boxed. If you just stack them in a 30 cal ammo can in
alternate directions you get almost 400 rounds in there that way.

I don't recall anything about a loader 'spoon'. I have some stripper clips for the
Mosin Nagant, but don't use them. Hell, it takes more time to load the clip and then
load the rifle than to just load the rifle.

Maybe it was Tim but it was yesterday.

The rounds can be in the stripper clips when you get them. I have a
couple battle packs shipped that way. How did you get your bulk ammo
in the army?

I yelled, "Hey Top, I need some ammo!"

On the ranges in the states, it was already unpackaged and we took the number of
rounds we were told to take.
