Where can I buy 7.62x54R stripper clips?

Loading Mosin Chargers

Enfield style, with each rim offset over the one below. Pay attention to which end you are shoving into the rifle though, otherwise it'll make for a headache.

Original Russian Military Manuals tell how to load the Mosin Chargers. It is not Enfield style, with D-U-D-U-D so that the bullet tips have a bit of a "sawtooth" pattern.

The way to load Mosin Nagant chargers is D-U-U-D-D. That is, the first round goes against the back of the charger, the next round is loaded with the rim over the first round, the third round is again loaded with the rim over the second round, the fourth round is loaded with the rim underneath the third round and the fifth round is loaded with the rim underneath the fourth round ( as the first round with the face of the cartridge against the charger.)

This is more an inverted "V" shape or an "arrowhead" shape to the cartridge tips.

Unlike the Lee Enfield, the Mosin Nagant has an interruptor in the magazine that allows one round at a time to be isolated before loading into the chamber.

Right, I just learned something new. That will be immensely handy in the near future.

Also; it seems the Mosin is more advanced than the Enfield :D
 
Where do you find this manual? I've been experimenting with different ways. The pyramid way, the plain rim over rim way, enfield way. going to try this one too. Regardless, I find that lifting the top round and pushing them all in is the best regardless of the stack. I just want one that will keep the rims in the same orientation even after the rounds are shook in the stripper clip. The pyramid method tends to screw up the order of the rims and fails. Enfield is snug and works either way you slide the clip in. Going to try this V-method (does it matter which way the shells are put in?)

Edit you just described the pyramid way..
