I use the SKS for World War II re-enacting matches where fast reloads mean the difference of winning or loosing stages. What I have done is take a 10 rd clip and put in 5 empty casings then mark it. I cut on the mark, then crimp the edges and polish off the rough edges on my bench grinder. The crimped end I paint orange, that way during a match I grab a clip and automatically know that the coloured end goes up. It is absolutely amazing how fast you can get 40-50 rds downrange quicky.
