Cartridge Boxes, a "New" Source

Post by **Hobie** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 11:17 am

For those who like to use period correct cartridge boxes (my hand is raised) I found Pacific Canvas and Leather. They've got some other neat things I'm sure some of you would be interested in. However, what caught my attention were their reproduction McKeevers for .45-70 and .30-40. FWIW, these repros are half of what you'd pay for many new condition McKeevers.

I carry rimfire ammo in a plastic wallet that holds 30 rounds, they don't rattle or get covered in fluff. I carry a spare box or two in my vehicle.

Centre Fire ammo I carry in the 20 round factory boxes. (can't find a belt for 22 hornet)

Shotgun shells always in a belt with plenty spare shells in the vehicle.

When using my muzzle loaders I carry everything in a possibles bag.

Well, usually, I just load 3 -5 in the tube, and carry a few extra in my pocket.
Other times I'll have a partial factory box in a day pack.
Can't remember the last time I needed more then 2- 3 rounds,
(Hunting), and that was when I shot two deer and a turkey the same morning.

I load up three or four, depending on what I am hunting and which rifle I have. Then stick two more in my front pocket. I also put five more in a leather cartridge wallet in my pack. I have only run out of ammo one time and that was my fault due to some very long range shooting, after running to cut the distance by more than half, I killed the elk that I had wounded just before with my last round, too close for comfort!

I wish we could select multiple choices on these polls.

"Usually" I carry my center fire straight walled ammo in loops on the cartridge belt. Rimfires in the small 50 round boxes, and center fire bottle necked in my pocket.

Hobie, thanks for that link. I've already got several items on my want

list.

I have had an ammo wallet for about 30 years, it hold 6 rounds. So with 4 in the mag plus 6 I have 10 rounds readily available.

Just got a shipment from Midway, 97rd Bandoleer, 5 18rd ammo wallets and a leather 20rd reloading block ammo carrier, all for my 1894c.

I like to use a vest with big accessible pockets when shooting skeet. Naturaly.

When I am shooting centerfires, I am target shooting and have the box neatly to my side.

Rimfires, I have a 100rd brick that I put in my pocket. Or I just dump a handful in my pocket.

The plastic brick is nice because it's 20 rows of 5, you just expose 3 rows and you've got the right amount for a 9422 or a 552 Rem.

How do you carry your "extra" ammo?
