Never had one that wore out...bought 20 so that my son & I would not have to reload them while @ the range.
 
Yes with an if, no with a but...

This is not my image, but it shows the problem with not matching your clips to your ammo's extractor groove (.308 / NATO being larger):

Didn't know this! Received my AEC3 en blocs today, picked 6 pre 72 HXP range pick-up brass and tried the en bloc, works! Compare a 65 HXP with a 74 HXP, I can see the grove difference. I have a 71 HXP, 71 and before, groove is narrower, PPU is similar to Pre and 71, so is a FC brass I compared. I guess narrower groove is the spec.
