Browning Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Up until now I've always carried my spare bullets in one of the plastic clips that you get when you buy factory ammo. This is then carried in my pocket. I've noticed, particularly on my .270 with soft point bullets, that the lead points are getting damaged presumably by being squashed down into the plastic carrier. Does anyone have any tips, or recommended equipment, for carrying centrefire ammo in the field and protecting the bullet points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 i dont know about anyone else, but i find pockets work well? or am i missing the point? That's the problem, with soft lead tips you may be missing the point if you keep them in your pocket Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have one of those cordura 10 round holders, and I find that even in there the lead gets deformed after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I bought my mate a nice leather one, and the first time we got soaked, his rounds got corroded so he never used it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I bought my mate a nice leather one, and the first time we got soaked, his rounds got corroded so he never used it again Good point. I bought one of those cordura ones at one of the Game Fair a few years ago and it performs very well. Holds 10rds and held closed by a Velcro strip. You should be able to pick one up at any gunshop.

Dunkield Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks good, i think mine is by Uncle someone or other, American anyway... I bet you don't load it up with 14 rounds more than once though :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Whatever them slip over the butt things are called. Hold 9 CF rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I like to swallow mine the night before with a small cup of exlax and to then wait for nature to take it's course the next day normally at about 7.30 a.m.. It can restrict the quantity of rounds brought into the field but they are nonetheless tucked away safe and sound during transportation and you never end up forgetting them or leaving them at home. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 That might work OK for .22 rimfire Mung, but I'd like to see you try it with a .308........then again no I wouldn't. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
