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 M14 rifle. The same ones work for .30 cal ammo for Johnston rile, 1903 and later...M1917... My Japanese 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.

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 M14 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.
