How Many Rounds?

50 in the box because it'll be full when I load it in the truck. When im hiking around, 3 in the gun and 4 spare in my bino harness. If I can't figure it out with that many something is wrong or I suck and I dont need to be flinging that many rounds thru the air.

I do exactly the same.
 
Not to derail the thread but what do you guys carry your extra ammo in when in the field?

3 in mag in gun
3 in mag in bino harness
10 in “ammo wallet”, currently a folding deal with Velcro closure.

Norma puts these little break away caddies that hold 5 rounds in their ammo cartons. I have saved a couple of those and stow them in a jacket or vest pocket and another in the pack.

I love those Norma ammo carriers! If only we can get them to package their unloaded brass in those things too.
 
You guys are carrying 10+ rounds in the backcountry in CO? WTH? Why? I'm already carrying enough crap. I don't see the logic here unless you are coyote hunting or in serious predator territory.

I carry maybe 5. Full mag is 3 and 2 "I lost my mag" rounds in the harness. I've never put more than 2 rounds into an animal in all my years, and if I miss 5 times its time to head back to camp and figure things out.
 
I'm not ashamed to say I've shot (at) things multiple times, happens for a variety of reasons but sometimes i just get excited. Yep even ran out of rounds a couple of times and that's a shitty feeling for sure. Now days I'd rather carry to many than not enough.

Went to Africa in 2021 took 50 rounds. 7 animals planned 13 animals taken 20 rounds fired.
Colorado 2017 20 rounds taken 2 animals planned 7 rounds fired
Colorado 2020 50 rounds take. 2 animals planned 1 round fired
West Texas 2024 40 rounds taken. 1 animal planned. 2 rounds fired
Hunting around home 6-10 rounds carried at all time.
I think 40 rounds plus applicable torx/ Allen wrenches of sizes for all screws on the rifle is just insurance for screw ups,
