Simple enough:
A "clip" is used to load a magazine.

A couple of years ago my son decided he wanted to have some fun doing his last Science Fair Project in high school. He wanted to do something with shooting.

The bullets I'm using are 150 grain FMJBT.

For the 125 grain Hornaday BT, I am using 17 grains of IMR4227...COL to fit magazine.

Seated to cannelure, COL is 2.065"
