Cartridge Carrier

[JEBar]

when we go to the range we carry our ammo in boxes in our range bag .... when we go hunting we often carry spare ammo in a cartridge carrier worn on our belts .... following the recent purchase of a Henry 44 MAG and a 45-70 I found I didn't have cartridge carriers to use with them .... so, earlier today, I purchased two Uncle Mike's Kodra Nylon Folding Rifle 10-Cartridge Carriers ===> https://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Mikes-Fold ... r%2C+Black <=== below are pictures of the carriers filled with 44's, 45-70's, and a mix of both .... early on we went with leather (cartridge and/or clip) carriers which have done OK but we have found that synthetic ones seem to hold up better .... after getting home and loading the carriers, I realized we could have gotten by with just one but having a couple can't hurt ..

Thanks very much! They do come in handy. I have them by Allen, Cabela's and I don't know who makes the leather one.

I don't know who makes the leather one.

just curious, have you ever left shells in a leather carrier and found something reacted and turned the brass shell walls green

[Deadwood Dutch]

Yes, I don't do that anymore. Even the knives with the brass ends left in the leather sheath turn green after a while. I just use some brass polish.

glad to know I'm not the only one .... that's the reason I long ago decided to go with synthetic ones

Looks like a good solution. As someone that doesn't reload I typically have my factory cartridges in the boxes they came in!

understood .... when we are shooting at a range, that works well .... when we go into the woods hunting we have tried carriers that fit on our rifle stocks and that does work .... however, carrying spare ammo in a carrier on a belt seems to work best for us ....

That makes sense. I've never hunted, but I'm not opposed to reducing the coyote population here.

The nylon slip on type just don't seam to last much more than a yr or two for me and I have lost more rounds out of the loops.
Thats mostly why I have gone to the leather

now that you mention it, I do recall many years ago having a nylon (?) one on a rifle stock that aged to where I had to throw it away for the same reason .... so far, I haven't had that problem with the belt type
