[quote=Sitka deer]
yes > sitka deer read it right 6 shells in the rifle boot. Make darned sure all ammo is in approved "ammo boxes", either factory, or plastic handloader-type. Yup, they get testy about ammo in holders on slings and such.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

nope I am from Minnesota shoot a lot ,have my own rifle range with cement benches,shoot FTR class in master division,shoot some 1000 yard bench rest shoots,use too shoot 100-200 yard bench rest, won a couple of state titles in archery the hard class F.S. ,won plenty in trap too,besides what animals I have killed gun and bow. so for hunting a moose,caribou and a wolf my gun boot of 6 shells should be plenty. I guess I never thought about what other hunters carry ? which is it small or large bucket for you ? ? Just don't mind moments as such posted above your response. You have already decided what rifle and ammo to use, something that most Alaska moose hunters would agree with. Not a bad idea to bring ammo to Fairbanks, because while 7mm Magnum ammo should be locally available, as it gets close to moose season its gets a little more difficult to find the right bullet weight you want. The same for the .30-06, .300WM, .338WM, and the .375H&H. I sometimes reload my own ammo for my .338's, but every now and then buy a box or two at the local stores long before moose season. That way I get the right kind of bullet and weight I want. >> Ray, never thought about Alaskan store ammo shortage at moose season ,another good reason to bring my own ammo in a factory box ! thank you,Pete53

It is a little more expensive than what you would pay in the lower-48, however.
