Two problems: using a stripper clip, opening ammo can

[Clay]

Keep the top bullet level with the barrell while pushing down at the base of the bullets. You will have to place your index finger between the top and second round at the pointy end to pull up the first round to level position.

this method works perfectly for me as well!

I agree. I get the catalog to look at in the head. Better than a comic book sometimes. CTD that is.

Yep, first time I opened up a spam can was with a pair of tin snips...then I realized I needed one of these...

I now have a spam can opener for these, but used a cold chisel on the previous cans...
