How many bullets do you carry?

[Coopsdaddy]

How many bullets do you carry,in your case,on your person?Is there a limit to how many you can carry if your flying?

I’ll bring a box with me either in the case for flying or in the truck where I park. I carry a full mag plus one into the field or back country. Sometimes an full extra mag if it’s grizz country.

The limit for flying is 11 lbs on most airlines, in boxes, not loose.

I usually take 20 on my belt plus another 20 in my back pack and whatever my magazine will hold, but I may pare that down to just the 20 on my belt and what's in the magazine. My problem is I want to be prepared in case the scope gets knocked around, but maybe I will pack a bore sight next time in lieu of the extra 20 rounds. I'll have to weigh those differences when it's pack time.

I usually have an extra mag loaded, and whatever is left of that box of ammo goes in my pack. So never more than 20, usually never less than 8-10

 

[Carr5vols]

For rifle max 10. For muzzy 1 in gun and 5 quickloaders.

 

[TNKnoxville]

A mag in my gun (4) a spare mag in my pack (4) and 4 more in my bino case, 12 total.

I reload so when going somewhere, 50 in a box. When I'm going into the field, 3 in the gun (300 wsm in small AICS magazine) and 7 in my hip belt (large AICS magazine).

12

4 in the Fieldcraft, 4 in my pocket. If I take the 700 detachable mag, I carry an extra mag (8 total).

Traveling I take 2 boxes. Never know what you might have to do with sighting in after traveling.

 

[long hunter]

Traveling two boxes, home hunting 8 four in each mag the rest of the box is left in the truck.

Eberlestock makes a great small ammo pouch. Can go in pack, pocket or attach to belt That gets filled, usually 8-10 depending on caliber, then fill the mag.

 

[tdot]

3 in the gun, 4 in elastic loops in the bottom of my bino case and the 3 in a ziploc bag in my pack. 10 total, I can zero a rifle or replace wet bullets and still have enough left over to hunt with. I reload all my ammo, so I have 30-40 more in the truck.

I put the box in the truck and put 10 from that box in the ammo wallet I inherited from my brother-in-law. The rifle gets loaded from the wallet when I leave the truck. No rhyme or reason to the numbers other than that.

Depends

 

[ReddingArcher]

Usually just the mag in the gun, an extra mag and possibly another 4 rounds.

 

[kpk]

40 in the vehicle. I carry an mtm wallet and the mag full - I think that's 12.

On any trip at least 2 full boxes. While actively in the field gun full, so 4, A couple on my person in cargo pant pocket or chest pocket. and 1/2 box (10) in my pack.

I have seen some strange things happen while guiding and the guy only had a gun full on them.

Example: client shot a deer low breaking front leg right where it meets the body. While we moved to get a follow up shot he fell and landed on his gun and slid down the hill on it for a few feet. Next shot he got at the deer I had no idea where he hit. next shot I saw the bullet hit like 2 feet in front of the deer. Just guessing that is where the first one hit. I told him to shoot at its ass...and he hit it in the front shoulder. If he would have missed the last shot it was like a 2 mile walk back to the truck to get more ammo.

Nerd.

 

[bsnedeker]

I don't think I've ever taken a box of bullets with me when I'm hunting...those stay home.

Now if you are asking me about CARTRIDGES...well then I'm usually 20-40 depending on how far I'm heading out.

Sorry for the pedantry!!! I couldn't resist!
