A powder-actuated tool cartridge clip comprising a generally elongate body member having major and minor dimensions, a plurality of explosive charge retaining receptacles arranged in series and an indexing member both disposed along the major dimension of the elongate body member. The cartridge clip is disposable in a feed channel of a powder-actuated tool of the type having an indexing mechanism for engaging and advancing the cartridge clip through the feed channel so as to sequentially position explosive charges retained at the cartridge clip in a discharge position. The cartridge clip also includes an indicator mark disposed along the elongate body member for indicating that a last remaining explosive charge retained in the cartridge clip is positioned at the discharge position or has been discharged when the portion of the cartridge clip having discharged explosive charges protrudes from the powder-actuated tool.
