| I got about 100 stripper clips to load mags. Im finding I have to uses alot of force to push the ammo into the mag. Sometimes I can push all 10 in and have to push the first 5 then the 2nd 5. Is this normal? The ammo doesnt just slide right off |

Are the rounds reloads? If the bullets aren't seated to the proper depth / the cartridges are overlong, the bullet tips may be contact the mag front. What condition is the Stripper Clip Guide in? is it loose? does it hold the stripper firmly / at the proper angle? |
I never have that much difficulty with stripper clips. One thing that will help is making sure the small brass tab that helps keep the rounds from working there way out is bent downward before attempting to push them in the mag. Forget the spoon and use your fingers. Once you get cut a couple times youll get used to proper finger placement

I used to line everything up, then place the whole thing orizontal, tips down, bullet against the edge of a workbench and press the whole rig forward onto the rounds. Seemed to go easier. |
