Extra ammo

Post by Oksrt » Mon Dec 25, 2017 9:34 am

How do you all carry additional ammo for pistol caliber rifles? Pocket, belt slider, butt cuff?
Thanks.

I carry a box in my backpack. My BBS in .357 carries 10 + 1 in the rifle. If I need to shoot more than that in the woods around here then something is very wrong.

Ammo wallet-handier than a pocket on a shirt!

I have a real nice stock cover that holds cartridges, and use it on and off. My rifle looks better without it so 90% of the time I wear a cartridge belt when horseback, with a knife on it....no pistol carry laws here in Canada. Cartridge belt is very handy.

Will 41 mag ammo fit 38 cal loops on leather slide?

If my internet searches are correct 38cal is 9.1mm and 41mag is 10.4mm and a dime is 1.35mm thick so they might fit but would probably be pretty snug.

With center fire guns it is usually deer hunting for me. I carry three in the gun and two in my pocket. I sometimes carry a revolver too.

I don’t yet own a Henry, but I carry an extra load in a Simply Rugged ammo pouch, to match my SR Sourdough Pancake holster for my SP101 .327 Fed Mag.

Good stuff, custom features, high quality, hand made in the USA.

I also have a couple of plastic Quick Strips, one of which will fit (loaded) in the pouch. They can be carried open in a pocket.... but I prefer that the ammo be fully protected in a hard container. For a long gun, you would not use the Quick Strips since they are for loading a wheel gun (they present each cartridge “backwards” for a rifle with a tube.

I haven't used my Henry Steel for anything other than deer. I don't carry any extra. I fill the tube and go. Figure if I miss that many times............It's time to go home and re group.

My state restricts some calibers to 10 rounds, so I just fill the tube and go.
No need or reason for extra ammo.

Try wetting the loops and forcing the 41 mags in. It's a great caliber.

Just one of many styles this fellow makes. Very nice quality work. The lever cover comes with it.

I placed a piece of firm 3/8" closed cell foam in the butt to ease some recoil.

For the range? I just throw it in the range bag.

For hunting? If I need more than the magazine can hold, it's time to go back to the range.
