    He means the rim and base are the same....308, 7.62, 30-06, 243...so on. The IVI are cdn for 7.62. The US are marked as RCS said and for the M14icon rifle. The same ones work for .30 cal ammo for Johnston rile, 1903 and later...M1917... My Japaneseicon clips are different. Not as deep and fancy. Remember how many countries used 7.62mm ammo, and 58 countries used the FN in one configuration or another. Although they didn't top load the rifle, they had a mag charger for the magazines.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I had some HRA T-48 covers that had the stripper clip slot but traded them off years ago. It is not a good method to refill the magazine in the rifle. Never seen anyone use the five
    round stripper to reload the M14icon magazine while still in the rifle.

    I did it myself when I had an M14. Empty mag on, fill and replace. It was easier than loading singles. I had lots of practise as this was an accepted method of loading the FN C1... The charger guide is handier though, on the loose mag.

    So just to make sure I am understanding. the rim and base of the brass on those calibers are the same, so its just the length of the neck and opening of the mouth that very with those calibers?

    Case length and some cases the bullet diameter. The base of the cartridge is the same.
