    I have a 410 shotgun one. Works a charm. I no longer have a 223 so if you want it i could work out what its worth.

    I've got a leather centerfire belt, not sure if it would fit .223 though. Will see if its still out in the shed.
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    make your own: if you've got a webbing or fabric belt, it's not hard to sew on your own elastic to hold the shells - frankly I find most shell-holders come with loops that are waaay too big - you lose your ammo too quickly. (check out a ridgeline belt-bag ammo pouch or even a markhor pack and you'll see what I mean). Use good quality elastic - mark out the spacing first. You don't need to be a whizz with a sewing machine!

    then buy another mag, then another one and then about four more
    then you only have to worry about mags ratteling in your pocket
    it sure beats loading mags on the run
