Stock mounted cartridge carriers, do you use one?

I use one on my non mag rifle. Ammo and gun together. Walk lots, never lost one. Push them almost all the way down. Only used for 338 and 375 though.
 
used on all my levers, bolt action rifles, single shotguns. Been hunting at least 48yrs, never lost a shell, very handy for carrying my shells, that's what their designed for. They all fit snug on my shells: black nylon and elastic.
 
I have become a bit jaded over the years. When someone spells like that I default assume it’s someone from Toronto mocking us for fun, not someone spelling phonetically. I said sorry and mean it.

I doubt it sport.
But good for you.
Vanilla, I suppose, is your flavor...…………...or is it flavour?
Shouldn't "english" be capitalized?
I mean, you know, proper spelling being important?

I don't know, the phonetic spelling is easier to understand and probably takes more grammatical effort than my kids texting.....
 
I've enjoyed Looki's posts over the years, and once deciphered, there's often much knowledge passed on from his long experience with ker-pows.:)

While I don't use butt cuff cartridge holders, I've found having a cartridge holder on a belt slide is useful, in that it provides more and in some cases, different ammo then is loaded in the gun. On extended outings, a few rounds of low velocity small game ammo loaded with pistol powder are useful, and are easily identified by the cast bullet. A couple of my belt slides have velcro closures, and these are a bit noisy, but after firing 4 or 5 rounds of .375 Ultra, who's going to hear it? I have a 6 round sidesaddle on my shotgun, which carries an additional slug and 5 rounds of buckshot, should a problem need to be solved near or in town. When I carry my ATC gun, it has a cartridge slide which holds 12 additional rounds, and a pouch that hold an additional 6, so I have 24 rounds available, including the 6 in the gun. I have 3 magazines for my CZ 527, a .223. Typically I'll carry all 3, 1 in the rifle, and the other 2 in different pockets. My standard load is built around the 50 gr TNT, but should an emergency arise when I'm carrying my butterfly gun, one magazine is loaded with game bullets. For the guys who do use the slip on style butt cuffs, power to you. There' an wise old saying, "You'll fight with what's in or on the gun." If you have ammo on the gun, you won't have to go looking for it when you need it.
 
I use butt cartridge carriers on most of my shotguns & rifles , for the past 30 yrs. It is great way to do a fast reload , often with
just 1 more round or the 1st. round , if seeing game before you are loaded up.
I specifically remember doing a fast load of 1 round into a unloaded rifle , when seeing game . I would have missed that deer
without that fast loading from the carrier . I often use tube mag levers.
I may have lost the odd round over the years , but so what ,,,,,,,,, the value of the carrier far outweighs any lost rounds.

That is my experience .
 
I use them sometimes, no negative comments and they also protect the stock from normal hunting damage.
 
I always thought Kamlooky was a schizophrenic off his meds? He is writing like that on purpose? Funny! Sorry about the armchair diagnosis.

I even made a try at a cheek riser/stripper clip holder for an SKS I had...turned out ok for a first run.

I generally built test runs out of split leather or garment leather from old jackets to get the pattern/fit right first. I came up with a really good "no sew" design that I use exclusively now and works really good on tapered cartridges. All you need for tools is a box cutter, metal ruler, chisel and a punch.
