Stripper Clips and Reloading
Good day.
I successfully reloaded my first batch of 10 cartridges (.303 British) and I have a question regarding the stripper clips -
The stripper clips I have are very old and look like rust has accumulated. I noticed that after shooting brand new rounds, the cases have a couple scratch marks from getting into and out of the stripper clips. If necessary I can provide pics. Does this damage the cases and should I refrain from reloading because of this? The brass I used today I purchased from someone else so it does not have those scratches.
Also, I don't know if this means I should purchase new stripper clips. Would getting newer clips or maybe thoroughly cleaning the old ones prevent this from happening?
Thanks for any replies.
