4 down in the magazine, 9 in a buttstock elastic carrier, and a full MTM in the truck. That's what starts the season, and it never comes in until the season's over.

So 13 rounds go with me in the field each day.

Depending on caliber MTM ammo wallet, leather belt slide, or a couple of pre-filled magazines, all of which are carried in my backpack. I keep a couple of loose rounds in my pants pockets in case I get separated from my pack.

I'm not sure that it matters that much, but I just don't want it any more dirty than I can avoid, and a lot of mentioned methods don't protect it that much in reality.


Huh?

My orange holds 6 rounds and protects them very well with a flap/pocket (I carry my compass in that pocket) that goes over and velcroes down. Full rifle usually holds 4-6 rounds, sometimes I'll carry an extra round in 1 of my shirt pockets.

I use the carrier that fits over the stock with a velcro flap.
Holds 6, add 3 in the magazine and a couple spares in a pocket.

When going hunting I put two rounds for the primary gun in the shirt pocket I wear when getting into the vehicle. Of course when setting out in the woods I put more in my pockets.

Two rounds in a pocket will not rattle. Three or more will.

They're made to hold 20 rounds. I have cut several in half to hold 10 rounds.

I don't like anything more on my belt than I already have- sidearm and knife, plus with binoculars on a harness on my chest, my rifle bumps against things if I don't plan my wardrobe assembly right. So, I use this, it keeps the cartridges with the rifle w/o changing the balance of the rifle, and the rifles stock never bangs into the brass cartridges like it would if they were on my belt. Plus the slings are stretchy and not slippery so stay on your shoulder well.

I'm a Diabetic so I carry a back-pack with snacks and water. It's easy to carry extra ammo in one of the pockets. I load the rifle with 4 and carry an extra 4 in the pack so I'm not adding too much extra weight.

I use either a butt cuff on the gun to carry extra rounds or a plastic ammo wallet that I keep in my pack or pocket.

For a while, Remington and Federal rifle ammo was packaged in 2 10 round plastic strips that were stacked together to fit into a cardboard box. I use one of those 10 round strips, but cut down to hold 5 rounds and with all the sharp edges and squared corners trimmed and rounded off so that it rides easily in the lower front pocket of my game vest.

I usually carry one round in each of my buttoned shirt pockets when using a bolt gun that holds 4 or so. I also carry extras in my pack because stuff happens.

I picked up a nice Browning parka a few years back that has ammo carriers sewn into two front pockets; one for shotshells and one for rifle ammo. you can flip them out so they hang outside the pocket if you think you're gonna have to make a "stand".
