I carry two loaded magazines, three rounds in each magazine, one mag in my rifle and one in my pocket. I also carry half a box (ten rounds) in my pack. The reason I carry so many is that I go into the field with both a bull tag and a cow tag. I want to have enough ammo to screw up at least once and still have enough left over to kill both animals several times. I rarely use more than a couple of rounds, but I believe in the Boy Scout motto; Be Prepared.
