In over fifty years of high power rifle competition, I used charger clips on a regular basis., starting with my first target rifle, a modified Springfield. However, using charger clips is not something which can be mastered with minimum practice. It takes hours of practice with dummy rounds to establish the technique of stripping the rounds into the magazine without dumping the entire arrangement on the ground. This is particularly true in a stressful situation like that of the rapid fire stage of a high power match, where the reload takes place in the middle of a timed string of fire.

I would have no hesitation about hunting dangerous game with a rifle set up for charger clips, but I have been using them all of my adult life. The use of the en bloc clips like those of the M1 Garand is much easier to master, but not an option for hunting use under most circumstances.

Clip loading in general rules out the use of a scope, except in the case of an arrangement like that of the M1C sniper rifle, with its offset Griffin & Howe side mount.
