The magazine includes a body defining a plurality of mutually parallel receptacles extending between two opposing body sides, each body side having a different height relative to the height of the receptacles. Each receptacle is separated from an adjacent receptacle by a baffle member. At least one notch ins formed in each baffle member so as to form at least one row of aligned notches extending across and contiguous with each receptacle. The aligned row of notches is configured to receive an elongated element for effectively altering the length of each receptacle.
