Bandolier for 470NE

I’d like to

hear about your Tuskless hunt. That’s what I’m after in August with Charlton McCallum Safaris.

Ask and you shall receive - Loved it, by day two I had been within a stones throw of over 2 dozen elephant.

Murray leather makes the best one IMO, however, the full cull belt has always seemed a little much for the visiting hunter. I get the pageantry of it all, however, I have always felt like a Murray shell holder holding 8-10 rds on a second belt with perhaps a pouch and a small belt knife, is plenty for the traveling sportsman. Lots would argue that there is no need to even carry a knife, but I personally always have some sort of blade on me, in teh field hunting is no different. This year I am going to try a pouch for 8x32 binos as well and have them on my waste instead of around my neck and shoulders. At the end of the day, no one judges so gear yourself up as you see fit. to answer

I hade one of the full on Murray Custom leather belts, but ended up giving it to my Ph - it was a little bit small on me, and unwieldy. I use one of their cartridge slides attached to a second belt now, and I like that more. I have recently purchased their buttstock shell holders, I have not field tested them yet, but I may end up going in that direction.
