How Many Rounds?

[SCHUNTER73]

How many rounds to you take when on an out of state trip? Particularly if your cartridge of choice is unlikely to be on a shelf in the store?

 

[Elkbelch]

20, ten in your gear and ten in the truck

 

[EastHumboldt]

At least 100. Enough to sight in a new scope. I take 20 into the back country on a horse trip and ten if I have to carry them, but there’s no reason not to have more than you need in your vehicle.

Reload box holds 50. . . It's normally full when I leave. If I'm hiking in, 10-20 but there will be extras at the truck in case I bounce a scope off a rock!

 

[Deadspace]

I’ve been taking 16 for a few years now. Three in each mag and ten in my bino harness.

 

[roadrunner]

40.

 

[keystone112]

40-50 for me.

I take 40 with me. Ten on my person or in my pack, 30 in the truck incase of a scope problem. We, as a group, usually have at least one spare scope, torque driver, and a bore sighter in the tool kit in the truck. Last time I looked there was even a set of Talley one pc. mounts for a 700 in there also. That all came from a dear friend that has since passed. He was adamant about that kit going in the truck first.

2 mags of 4, a sleeve of 10, and 1 in my emergency kit. (The sleeve of ten is for rocks and yotes off the gut pile)

Use a weapon system that does not fail and you wont have re-zero your rifle everytime you sneeze. There is a very extensive thread on here to help guide you.

I’m on my way to BC now…. I brought 40, but also brought a backup gun with another 20. Just in case I bounce off a rock or fall or anything. Since I’m driving, bringing an extra to camp is easy

 

[KenLee]

40...and the mag full if driving

 

[MallardSX2]

2 guns and 10 rounds for each.

Good lord, if I can’t get it done with that many, I should just take up golf.

My backup shoots the same load as my primary.

 

[MallardSX2]

My backup shoots the same load as my primary.

Mine does too.

All of my rifles (of same caliber) shoot the same load.

I just load one load that works for all the rifles of that particular caliber. It makes it easy to keep ammo. I got one ammo can for each caliber.

I always get anxiety about this and overpack. Bringing 20 this year to fill 4 tags + coyotes. In theory it’s way too many but I still overthink it

 

[GSPHUNTER]

I take 20. Have not used more than two.

 

[KenLee]

May need an extra box to ward off the Aram Von Benedict gang

 

[JohnnyB]

Just one

First hunt this year. Not out of state, but ~7 hours away. I'll bring 50 since the reloading box holds that many and my OCD would have me thinking about not filling the box. I'm planning to carry 10 at a time. 4+1 in rifle, 5 in one of those nifty plastic Norma ammo holders. We are doing day hike/hunt, camp at truck.
