Pistol caliber shell holder
Pistol caliber shell holder
Where can I find a rifle stock shell holder for pistol calibers? I would like one in .357 mag. All I see are rifle which are too long or for the .45 caliber size cartridges. Thanks!

Re: Pistol caliber shell holder
"Shell holder" in my mind is a machined part that holds the base of the shell in a reloading press. Is that what you mean?

I think he means a buttstock style lace on or elastic to carry extra ammo. At least this is what I interpret it as.Where can I find a rifle stock shell holder for pistol calibers?

Re: Pistol caliber shell holder
back in the late 60's I wanted a rifle stock ammo holder for 44 Mags and couldn't find one .... I finally bought a made out of nylon (or that type of material) that was designed to hold shotgun shells .... I then sewed a seam down the center of each loop .... it served me well for many yearsshootest wrote:Where can I find a rifle stock shell holder for pistol calibers? I would like one in .357 mag.

Shootest,
I've look at a variety of rifle stock shell holders when I had my .357 Magnum BBB. Very hard to find that accessory in a pistol caliber; most all are made for rifle calibers or shotshells.
If I wanted to carry some .357 cartridges on my rifle stock, I would have a simple DIY holder. In fact, this is one I would select to put on a Henry wood stock....I think the leather color looks great, and would go alongside the beautiful colors of Henry wood.

Although it's a slide belt carrier, I'd strap it on the rifle stock with paracord. And actually I think paracord would secure it better than a slip-over-the-stock holder. Would work just fine for me; might not be what you would want to do.
If you do find the specific product, I'd bet others on the Forum might be interested. Best on your search.

Re: Pistol caliber shell holder
What you're looking for is called a Butt Cuff. Been thinking about getting one for my .41mag carbine. I've done business with the below for about 3 years and they produce the finest sturdiest gun leather I've ever run across. But if you're looking for fancy embossing, etc. you won't get it from them. They make serious working mans leather for serious shooters/hunters/guides.shootest wrote:Where can I find a rifle stock shell holder for pistol calibers? I would like one in .357 mag.

Re: Pistol caliber shell holder
Someone.. maybe RR...not sure posted some pricey, but beautiful ones maybe 2 or three weeks ago. Can't remember the web site. Thought I saved to favorites, but can't find now. Maybe whoever it was will come forward because I would like to have the link again. Some were even two tone versions. Really nice!

Re: Pistol caliber shell holder
Might have been this guy. Also custom and VERY expensive. But any custom work ain't gonna be cheap no matter where you find it. I used to do a fair bit of custom woodwork, but I always had to explain to customers that I could not compete with Chinese imports or factory made stuff. My selling point was multi-generation level quality, but it came at a price. Lost a few who thought that I would make them something cheaper than they could buy at WallyWorld - not a snowballs chance in the nether regions. . It's the same with other crafts. Makes for a small market base, but I didn't care about that.markiver54 wrote:Someone.. maybe RR...not sure posted some pricey, but beautiful ones maybe 2 or three weeks ago.
