A strange request I know!
A few years ago I was at a range and noticed a piece of grey plastic by the trash barrel. I was going to put in the drum but when I saw what it was I had to have a second look. It was a cartridge carrier from a box of Nosler factory ammunition. It's just a 5 round plastic carrier, grey in color, with Nosler written on a tab that stuck up from behind the rear of the cartridge bases. What I like about it is that the cartridges lock into it but are still fairly easy to remove with one hand. Because they lock into place they can NOT fall out and rattle in your pocket. I suppose that I still have a bit of boy scout in me and want to be prepared;so I carry a few more rounds than I should ever need.
Again, it is a 5 round plastic carrier from a box of Nosler factory ammunition. The individual cartridges lock in place and will only come out intentionally. It's grey in color and has Nosler written on the part that covers the bullet in the front. I contacted Nosler but discovered that they now use a 10 round flimsy plastic, generic holder just to keep them in the box. I would love to get a few more in both short and long action length. Presently I don't need any for magnum cartridges but that could change...
HELP me PLEASE!!!
Thanks for taking time to read this and help me locate these little gems. I will try to post a pic below.

I don't have what you're asking for/about BUT I have a carrier that I LIKE and have used a number of years.

Uncle Mike's Sidekick



I usually carry it in my Coat Pocket instead of on a belt but that's an option.



Yes, it's a 10 rounder but you don't have to put all in it.
Those are 6mm Rem rounds and it will hold L A rounds. The holders are elastic so they will hold Mag cases too.

Now, I have some Federal RED ammo carriers (10) ct. but I don't use them. The ammo is exposed to dust, grit, whatever.
I like U M's because the rounds stay cleaner.

I know the above is not what you asked for but it's as close as I have and I like mine.

Good Luck

Jerry

Goat,
To Me, it's not a strange request at all!
I think it's crazy when hunters, shooters, don't have their ammo secure!
Especially Hunting, when being quiet is important pursuing game!

jwall, has some great suggestions, with his ammo carriers!
Uncle mike's, make's some great products!

I personally think, there's no one correct choice, as it's a personal thing, varying on your own style of hunting!
I like my ammo accessible, and my back up ammo, not far, depending on weather, and layered clothing!
Federal, made the same red plastic 10 rd. carriers, that would loop through your belt!
I used them a lot on our Rifle Hunts in P.A., generally, within a mile from hunt camp.
I hunted with, a .308 cal. rifle, a .375 cal. brush gun....etc......

Always had those holders!

It is a personal choice.

I bought a cloth/canvas one from cabelas a long time ago that uses a magnetic latch. Unfortunately it is wearing out and I have not been able to find a replacement

Velcro carriers are too loud for my tastes.

I also use buttstock ammo carriers if I need a higher comb on the rifle. I like them because with a full magazine and full buttstock I am good to go all day. If I can not get my critter with that many rounds, I should go home anyway.

I agree!
I do love the Butt stock Rifle cartridge elastic holder!
Learned the Hard Way yrs. ago, not to leave it in the gun, when not using it!
Marlin, .375, Walnut Stock!
Caught it just in time!
Yeah, Velcro can be noisy, and doesn't work good when it ages!
Great comments!

I use the plastic cartridge carriers from ammo boxes, typically from Federal ammunition. I carry them in my pocket, on my belt or on the strap of my hunting pack situation dependant. They have served me well, I also have one of the leather carriers that I use on occasion

I used the same case, and the same cartridge, love it. No muss no fuss! 😀😀

Yes Sir,

I don't open it TILL I need another round --> after killing, SO the velcro noise is a NON issue.

I have been using those Uncle Mikes 10 rounders for a long time. They work, are cheap, and last forever.

For those who need fast access to backup rounds in the heat of the moment, like with a single shot, A leather wrist band that holds three cartridges is something to consider also.

A sincere question.
How many times do you open and close one
while hunting?

Jerry

ColeTac makes a nice one.

I used it last season. Really like it. Well made. Made in USA.

IMO the orange is more red than orange. Serves the purpose either way.

Quiet is important to me. 37 years of bowhunting, it is ingrained into my psyche.

I have never had a velcro carrier screw anything up that I know of, but there is always a first.
I am the guy that goes through hunting apparel with my fingernails to test loudness of scraping. ie simulate branches, brush etc.
I am the guy who has a pair of oversize socks to slip over boots while stalking.
I am the guy who lubricates ground blind chairs and covers the synthetic materials with fleece or wool.

The velcro noise may be a non issue to some, but my preference is quiet, when given the choice.

I do not like open belt carriers either, as I have had cartridges slide , change position and even fall out.

i think i have seen the one you are referring to and got mine in a norma 20 count box of ammo...never seen them sold by themselves

And if you are reloading, I'll assume the element of surprise is no longer.

That’s what I carry too. My thoughts are that if I just fired four or five shots and I need to reload, a little velcro riiiiiip isn’t going to spook anything. 😊

Take a look at this

Have a couple of those.

I got three of these. I like them. I plan to add a few more this year for different calibers.

Tourbon ammo wallets are pretty nice:

My wife gave me one of those a couple yrs ago. Instead of the elastic loops holding the cases, it has leather holders that were way too tight for either the 7x57 or 30-06. I never used it.

Also have a few of these. Great to throw in the backpack or in hard side gun case.

I use the smallest Leatherman nylon pouch for extra rounds on my belt. It holds 3 std. cartridges perfectly and is relatively compact with a snap closure.

I also use the Butler creek sling with shell loops, but only use the bottom 2. That's five rounds I can get to quickly if needed.

I also use the 10 round plastic cartridge holders that come in the federal factory boxes in a plastic baggie in my pack.

I sometimes hike way back and don't want to have to go all the way back to the truck if something happens.

If you need to reload from one of these, chances are the game in the area is already aware of your presence.

Goat, if you have a Norma dealer near you, go check a box of their ammo. I bought a box about a year or two ago and it had what sounds exactly what you're talking about. If it wasn't such a pain in the ass, I'd post up a photo. They were 2 ten round carriers that I snapped in half to make 5 rounders. Cartridges locked into place, yet were easy to remove. Also, the tips were covered for added protection. I keep one in my coat, one in my pants and one in my pack. Too bad my Roberts didn't like the ammo much....

+1. Works good. Dog simple.

If you’re looking for quality, Murray Custom Leather carriers are hard to beat. Mine are leather, with heavy industrial grade elastic cartridge loops inside. I have the C3 models, 7 cartridge capacity. They have a leather flap over the top to make sure nothing falls out. Best shell carriers I’ve seen so far. Totally quiet.

If you need to reload from one of these, chances are the game in the area is already aware of your presence.

AND if you need to reload from anything it's the same.

Can't help out with locating what you are looking for, just post up what has been working for me.

Pockets...

I load the rifle. Spare 2-3 rounds in a chest pocket.

I might carry some in a reloading box/container in an old waterfowl blind bag at my feet.

I've never, ever, had to go deeper into my stash than the rounds aboard the rifle tho. I could likely leave the rest home.

These are pretty handy.

I just use the factory box of 20.

There's the $2 solution - wrap a handful of cartridges in a bandana and stick it in your pocket, and there's the $90 solution - a fancy leather custom made carrier that doesn't do anything more than the bandana but it's prettier. I lean toward the former.

$2 from Wally's



$90 from Midway

Another handy way of carrying some extra rounds in a way such that they don't rattle in your pocket is to use a stripper clip. Any cartridge of the same headsize as .30/06, .308 etc will slide into a standard Mauser stripper clip, while a good range of the rimmed ones, such as 7x57R, 9.3x74R and of course .303 go nicely in a .303 Lee Enfield clip ("charger" for the purists). A filled clip sits neatly in a shirt pocket.

Mind you, I'm rather a fan of the elastic butt cuffs - very handy and fast to get to when you want to grab some extra rounds right now - much faster than going to a belt pouch or pocket. I find them especially handy on my double rifle, single shot etc.

There's also the MTM belt boxes, which aren't quite as fast to access but hold more rounds, and protect them better. One thing I've found works well with these is to roll up a bit of toilet paper and wedge it into the lid - you want enough so that it takes a bit of force to shut the box on the rounds. That way they don't rattle.

I would never keep rounds in leather.
