Leftybolt;
Good evening sir, hopefully this finds you well.

I'm in the same camp as you it seems, though I'll typically have at least 5-10 rounds in a plastic carrier in my daypack as well.

In this photo I've unloaded the rifle already and put the rounds from the magazine - including the fired case - back into the butt sock.

We've found the butt sock carriers to be especially handy when camping as it keeps the ammunition and firearm in a common area which can be handy if one needs it in a pinch to deal with a recalcitrant bruin.

All the best to you this Christmas season sir.
