Clips?
Got a Garand? I'm sure it'll work fine on stripper clips too.

+1 You beat me to it!! You learn the correct way to call it in gun ownership 101. I usually use a drop of Hoppes. They also make a dry lubricant that is what it is intended for.

Cleanliness is more important. When you clean your weapon, take the mags apart and clean the crud out. Also inspect your springs. If you need a lubed magazine to make it work over a clean one, you have some other issues(unless we are talking mega capacity mags like a 100rd beta mag)
However, if you wish you can use something like the S&W branded dry lube which is basically close to the Liquid Wrench dry lube since they make it for S&W.

Eezox. All I use for mags.
Silicone spray would probably be the best. It goes on wet to flow into inaccessible areas then dries.
I have never seen a need to lube magazines. I like them dry. My guns are dripping wet with oil.

Good dry lubes include Birchwood Casey's Barricade, Eezox, and otis special forces dry lube. There are others out there but those are probably the most common ones you will find.
Not one little bit!
The Garand clips, .303 Brit/7.62x54r clips even the 5.56x45 clips are designed to run dry so they transfer minimum dirt into the firearm or it's magazine.

SKS uses a clip. I used dry lube sprays on them for a night/day difference.
