With quality ammo carriers of predominantly US/European manufacture becoming quite expensive by the time they are shipped to Australia, it was pleasing to find these examples being produced here in Oz. I opted for two foam inserts allowing me carriage of 8 x "Large Centrefire" or 4 x "Big Bore" cartridges.
Photos show 7x57 and my .425, (I did need to trim the top off the foam to allow closure of the flap over the .425's)
The pouch can be clipped over a waistband or have a belt fed through the steel clip.

Very clever use of foam to hold the cartridges in place. Keeps them from rattling around.
 
Nice, I like leather shooting accessories.
 
I really like the butt stock ammo carriers from Murray Leather. The ammo is with the rifle, not on your belt. If you are hunting with two rifles (as a DG rifle and a PG rifle) you will not be caught out changing rifles.

I see your point and once thought like this. However in practice in an actual hunting scenario, it's much more difficult to pull cartridges from the buttstock than it is your waist.

For a tactical situation where you are grabbing a rifle or shotgun to defend your home/family/etc...the ammo on the firearm makes much more sense. Simply for the reason that this happens at a moments notice and you will not have time to grab ammo that is kept separately. Keeping your ammo belt with your hunting rifle is pretty simple in a hunting camp.

When hunting as usual with just one rifle that I carry I use a 6 round slider on my belt. Never a separate ammo belt. If I am hunting with two rifles, as many apparently do in Africa, I do not want two sliders with different ammo on my belt, and do not know how I could manage TWO ammo belts. So, for me, the buttstock ammo holder is the right answer. Along with shooting practice with the same rig.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
