4 in the rifle, one in my pocket and 10 in a ammo wallet in my pack.

3 in the rifle, 9 in a ten round boyt cartridge wallet that I have cut in half (thereby losing 1 round) so they will fit back to back in the side pocket of the filson pack I carry. So 12 rounds total

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've got a couple of the Federals that I've probably been using for 20 years. Either put it on my belt or drop in a coat pocket. I carry 4 cartridges of the 10 in the gun and the other 6 as spares. My heavyweight orange coat has some shell loops sewn on the outside with a flap, I'll use that if I'm wearing the coat. Dale

For years I was in the habit of loading 3 in the gun and carrying 3 extra in a pocket. That is until the day I came across a herd of at least 40 hogs.
Not a great feeling having to use your last bullet to finish off a big hog.

If using my single shot, 1 in the chamber & 1 extra. If using my bolt gun, 1 down & 1 up.

Long time ago I found some sheaths for folding knives on clearance at Walmart. $1.00 each if I remember correctly. They were light duty and kinda small but hold 3 cartridges just fine. They are the correct length for 06 based rounds and a small piece of Styrofoam on 08 based rounds took care of those. One or two on my belt along with my gps and sheath knife and I am good to go. miles Good idea! I've got a few such knife sheaths around and will see how various rifle ammo fits. Like others, I've used old stripper clips with 4 rounds in one or cut down the Federal plastic holders to take four, and put that in left shirt pocket. I have a single finisher round in my right front pants pocket with nothing else in that pocket.

3 in the rifle, four more in the day pack or pocket. Always 7...its a superstitious thing.
When i hunted DG it was three in the rifle ( thats all my .375 held..) 6 softs in a open belt carrier, and six solids in another one above my back pocket.

I carry one in the sling that I replenish the rifle with on chambering a round. Then usually around 4 in a an elastic stock carrier. I don't like them packed in the carrier as they are harder to fish out--at least one empty between loaded loops for me.

Four in the gun and either 9 in an ancient Uncle Mikes nylon belt pouch or 8 in a very old leather pouch that holds the cartridges in a red Federal plastic ammo carrier.

I start with 10 rounds in an ammo wallet. Put 3 or 4 in the belly and the remaining 6 or 7 in the wallet go in my pack. General plan is to return with 9 rounds....

Home hunts, what is in the belly.
Away hunts, a few extras in my pocket.

Four in the magazine, two "thinking" rounds in my pack...as in think about how badly I've screwed up to need those last two and correct it.

Backpack has pockets on hip belt. I take a couple rounds and wrap them in electrical tape so they don't rattle
