Cover both sides! It's hard on old timers like me to say magazine every time. Those used to be clips, They were sold as clips so we called them clips. I have a 1972 model Rem 742 semi-auto in 308. It doesn't have a magazine, The extra thing you put the bullets in was labeled CLIP. I called it a clip. Everyone before me called them clips.
Now to be "political" correct and not get called an idiot, you have to say magazine when referring to that appliance. A lot of times, just to see which way a gun guy goes, I say , clip, I mean magazine. It happened last night with a guy my age. He laughed and said "Aint that BS? WTF difference does it make we know what we talking about."

What's really hilarious about all this is, the magazine people are wrong. A magazine can be a place, but it is not a thing. Team clip for life.
