Thread: rattling ammunition's containers

Wow some of you carry allot of spare rounds, what's the normal? I have 4x in the gun and 4x in my pack, never used more than a couple on a walk. If doing a long trip I will have a few more at the base camp not many though.

I guess partly a carry over from the days pre-radio and epirb when standard practice to carry a few rounds for signaling in emergencies. Plus handy to have spare rounds if you come across a mob of goats on way out. Also depends on whether you're culling or not I guess.

Usually 5 in the mag and 5 in my day pack. Generally need 1 of them, sometimes 2.
Really depends on what the hunt is all about
