Re: .38 / .357 ammo on stripper clipps

The ammo on a SKS stripper clip would be for fast reloads, but more for throwing more ammo into a pack or pouch and know that it isn't going to go all over the place in it. This would work better at having some fast to get ammo right on the rifle. http://www.thewilderness.com/images/products/preview...
