bullet case and bullet hoders


Recommended Posts

if it's rimfire, I just leave them int eh cardboard box un my pocket or pack and have a couple spare magazines loaded. I have 2 mags for the 22 (14 shots total) and I had 4 for the HMR (20 shots total). I rarely need to shoot more than that in a short period of time and a 50 box of 22 LR doesn't last long enough for me to worry about the cardboard getting buckled around.

 

Centerfires stay in their hard case in my pack or car. I shoot a single shot for everything at the moment, so I'll put a couple in my pocket and the rest in the game bag or similar.

 

At home the loaded rounds are in the safe inside the plastic field boxes. The unloaded bullets are in the original packaging.

 

Thanks

Rick

sorry its a .222 rem.

 

Iv just started to reload my own bullets, and want to buy a case that I can fit 50 or so bullets in, today I have put them in an old packet that factory bullets came in but I dont think these are very good.

 

I think I might buy a bullet holder that goes over the stock, anyone recommend one?

 

thanks

I can't see the links above (work net nanny) but I use the MTM cheap ones from Midway. I have 2 sizes, one for 223 and one for 22 hornet. The 223 sized one is what you'll want for a 222. The next size smaller (hornet/221FB) won't be long enough. It is just enough for a 221FB with a 40 gr BT seated out to the lands in my gun.

 

Thanks,

Rick

For my large centrefire rounds I usually load all the mags I have and then carry ten rounds in a folding cordura wallet. If you go for this option I suggest that you go for something with a popper closure. Try getting velcro open in a hurry without spooking everything for miles, it's not a good choice for field use!

 

For my rimfires, .22 and .17 Hornets I made my own bullet pouch. I just cut a 6" circle of leather and then punched holes every inch around the outside. Thread some para cord through the holes and then tie it in a loop. If you drop 50 rounds in the middle then pull the string tight it makes a great little pouch which is very quiet to use.
