Stripper-CLip (loader,spoon,guide...) ??

[JJ_BPK]

OK, I'm in the process of building my 1st EBR (c pic)

The BCG is Daniel Defense, w/MP test, and the rest of the upper is 100% YHM, including BUIS, w/14.5", chromed lined, 1/7 barrel.

Last week I grabbed a 10 pack of Pmags, $89 delivered. I am not hi-speed anything, but it seemed like a real good price.

The last couple days, I have started looking for some less-expensive practice ammo.

Found some Federal XM193AF, 5.56mm 55grain FMJ, 900rd pack, on Stripper Clips, $351 delivered ($0.39 each).

Anyway,, Pmags & Stripper-Clips??

I found out the the USGI loader will work,, and there is a LuLa-Stripper,, BUT,, The Canadian GI plastic Loader that comes with their C77, is a better loader..

Q: does anyone have any experience with the Canadian loader??
Q: and if they are better,, a source??

Q: is the usgi 7.62 guide the same as the 5.56 guide??

Q: read a little about XM223M1, 80 GRAIN & long throats,, any thoughts??


Thanks..

PS: If your thinking,, I would wally-world for ammo, but it's 130 miles away..
