Do yourself a favor and dont take anything you hear from behind the counter at wholesale sports as the gospel.
My favorite line from behind the counter of wholesale from the sales woman, while looking at a 700 in .223, was : " Sir, just to make you aware, the Canadian military is switching over to .223, so we wont be able to get ammo for it anymore. I would go for the 22.250, sir."
And away I went!

Don't bother - they are garbage. I've never heard of ANYONE that had good luck with them. You can reload via stripper clips about ten times faster anyway.
Albertans are crazy red necks that don't listen to the government.
You're right. We expect the government to listen US -- you know the guys who gave them the job to begin with.
thanks for the info Tootall.i thought tracer ammo was a prohib,now i see as long as it doesent explode on inpact it is not.strange laws we now have.i cant see someone who is planning a shooting spree worrying about unpinning his mag or buying unpinned mags.it seems like a law made to bother the range shooters by forcing them to keep reloading every minute or so, althought i do agree 5 rounds is enough when hunting big game.if you cant hit it with 5 shots its time to leave the woods.
Their use interchangeably is incorrect and only highlights an individuals ignorance..

I know it is incorrect, but it very common these days. You see the error being made in magazines, on TV and in movies, even by gun vendors themselves (I have seen it repeatedly in print ads and catalogs).
I think we need to accept that the language has evolved (as it naturally does) and people are going to refer to mags as clips and vice-versa.
If you blow a gasket over it's misuse, you need to relax more - it's just not that big of a deal.

The proper terminology is a non issue for the ignorant or poser crowd. For the rest of us who are informed or involved in the shooting community it is an issue.

5 rnd magazine limit applies to semi-auto rifles, not bolt action.

here we go again.
short story....
there were semi-auto enfields that used the 10 round mags, rare and I wish I had one.
therefore all enfield mags were of the type designed for a semi-auto firearm and would have become prohibited devices. Now having that many prohibited devices everywhere in Canada would have caused the end ofthe world because we know from the CGC that guns are the blame for everything. So there was an exception made.
Oh I have never seen a semi auto enfield anywhere and I have been to the Armouries in Leeds (pattern room was not open)

This whole "designed for" issue is so confusing. I mean, what if somebody produced a bolt-action .223 that was AR mag compatible. Would 30-rd mags manufactured specifically for that rifle then be legal to use in an AR? What would actually distinguish these mags from any old 30-rd AR type mag?
be like LAR pistol mags, they are made on different tooling and are stamped "pistol mags"
if it starts its life as an AR rifle mag, than its 5 round, if it starts its life as a pistol mag, its good for 10, and if someone makes a non-semiautomatic rifle with some 30 rounders, we'll, he'll probly make himself a small fortune.
personally, its like to see something besides a bolt gun, maybe soemthing like the 7615, but with more options (barrels, sights, ect).
wasnt there a bullpup pump rifle a few years back?
I think the problem with "clip" being used improperly came after WWII when so many American soldiers called a magazine a clip becasue they were using Harands, which did use clips. They just started calling everything a clip.
