clips from my collection

first is a 7.7mm clip of ball cartridges and the second is a clip of 6.5mm ball cartridges.

I have a few Japanese and Chinese 6.5mm rounds.

Another variation to find is the 6.5mm Japanese manufactured by Kynoch for the British Govt and dated 16 (1916). These 6.5mm cartridges were for the Arisaka Type 30, Type 38 rifle and Type 38 carbine, some 130,000 of these Japanese service rifles were purchased by the British in 1914. These service
rifles were used for training and some were issued to British Naval Units. In 1916, some 60,000 of these Japanese rifles were sent to Russia to support the war effort. Later during the early 1920's, Finland captured a large number of the Japanese rifles. These rifles and carbines were known as the following in Britain; Rifle, Magazine, 256" Pattern 1900, Rifle, Magazine, 256", Pattern 1907 and Carbine, Magazine, 256", Patter 1907

Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabrike A.G., de Karlsruhe and Royal Thai Arsenal of Bangkok also made 6.5x50SRmm Japanese ammunition. The Thai's called this Type 83 (1940)

The clips are the same.

The clips are a little different in that the 6.5 was a semi rimmed and made of brass early on, the 7.7 a rimless number and most of these clips that I've seen were made of steel. Or you can use .03 or K98 clips, as they are similar enough to work.
