Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Carrying cartridges

Dang!

That’s some big pigs.

My exp with elastic holders have been they loosen and sag over time.

I use a folding nylon cartridge carrier that holds 8-10 cartridges and it rides in a pocket in my pack. Uncle Mike's makes them I believe and sells for around $15-20.

Thanks.

Ordered one of the 10rd Cole-tac wallets. Made in USA to boot.

I can't stand loose rounds bouncing around in my pocket.

I did the same with a Norma cartridge holder. I keep one each in my warmer weather coat and my cold coat, so I don't have to remember to switch out. I also have a canvas pouch that I got free from Hornady as a promotion. You can buy them for around $20. It's light, quiet and handy.

on my rifles i always have a shell boot with 6 handloaded rounds when i deer hunt ,best way to carry cartridges , > that way a person never forgets his ammo.

Well, we're gonna need to know what color you decided upon.

Haha. Those do look nice and I’ve not seen them before. I’ve been using the uncle mike type from cabelas for a long time and like them. May have to spring for one of the others too. Thanks for the link.

It should be blaze orange for safety reasons and in case you drop it on the ground it can be found easily.

I've said that before too, and it bit me eventually.

That's not to mention the few times I blew through a mag full of rounds shooting at stupid coyotes a few miles from the rig.

To the OP:
I throw a few extra rounds in an old cartridge wallet and keep it in my pack, but usually also put 2-3 in my bino harness just in case I get seperated from my pack.

Yep except mine is in the top pocket in my pack

Another Uncle Mike's Wallet user here, keep it simple.

I do like a butt stock ammo holder, it serves as temporary storage if I have to unload the rifle. Otherwise I keep it empty so as not to unbalance the rifle. Helps protect the butt stock too.

I had an elder cousin that always said there is no such thing as having too much ammunition. If you are in hog country 5 rounds can leave you woefully short. My BIL ran out of ammo the other evening, he killed 3 out of 6 hogs with his only 5 rounds that were in the rifle. The rest were in a bag in the truck. Luckily a survivor ran back out to check on the fallen and I got him. Sometimes there are 20 hogs or more. I would think bear country would be a place you would sure need accessible ammo. As to the question I usually keep some extra in my side coat pocket.

I always use a cartridge sleeve from a box of Federals

^^^^^^
Way back when Federal first started that, I thought that was slicker than goose schitt. Even had the belt loops!

Keep it simple. Fired cases in left pocket, extra shells in right

My preference is to have extra rounds in my pocket on a stripper clip. It holds them together nicely, it keeps them quiet and they pull off easily one at a time.

exactly why i ordered orange...... lol

if not in the woods, itll stand out when i lay it down in my shop.

Also good is an M1 Garand en bloc clip, at least for '06, x57, savage, or creed based rounds. Other stuff might work, too-I've not given it a shot.

Stripper clip in pocket or surplus leather mag pouch, WWII german style.

Uncle mikes 10 round on my belt. Been using them for years. I've wore a couple of them out.
