Magazine identification

[FROGO207]

I just use carb cleaner and an old T shirt to wipe the marks off. No tooth brush abuse here.

Yeah ... and it takes a LOT of teeth brushings for the brush to lose that terrible carb cleaner taste ...

Taylor Jarrell asked:
Is there any standard color code for magazine tape to differentiate fmj, jhp, green tip etc?

Not that I'm aware of.

Of course, if you develop a standard loading capable of producing satisfactory results in hunting and self-defense then you can make them up in bulk and be practicing with something you're actually going to shoot. Eliminates the need to identify magazines or hope you loaded them with the bullet you deem suitable for the particular situation.

Get yourself a Brother pTouch or old fashioned Dymo label maker and actually label them. All my pistol mags have labels so I can tell them at a glance, but I have them marked by gun and not by the ammo they contain.

I also use the labels to easily ID somewhat similar mags for various rifles and pistols. If I was using them a lot, then I'd probably go the paint marker route as suggested.

Yeah, but just think how your teeth will not be gummed up!
