how many rounds
 

How many rounds do you carry while hunting?

3 in the mag, one in the pipe.. usually 4-5 on the butt stock.

In the truck I usually have 20 to 50 just in case... lol

About 40 for each gun taken along.

It depends on how long that I will be hunting, the game, and of course, the gun. Typically, I would say that I have whatever firearm that is in my hands fully stoked-whether bolt, semi, lever, etc. for fast follow-up shots-should they be needed. There is typically then 5-10 additional cartridges on my persons with another 20 or so accessible in my truck or the cabin, as needed.

The reality though is that I have never had to dig into a second pack or box of rifle ammunition while hunting and safely return the majority back to the ammo cabinet upon my return home.

Now shotgunning for birds is another story...:rolleyes: Back the truck up and get that liftgate down!:D

Good answer! Sounds familiar, as I usually bring more shotgun shells than I need, especially for bird hunting. (Though admittedly for dove hunting I often use them all!) 12+ for rabbits and squirrels, a handful for deer (slugs in Ohio).

Now I suppose that if I hunted in a state which allowed personal carry too with a sidearm...well there would be at least a full clip and two spare magazines to add to the list too!:D

Would definately be new belt shopping!;)

I usually carry the gun full plus a few, but it depends. The question is kinda vague. When I am hunting whitetail? about a full box of 20. When I am hunting squirrel or rabbit? assuming I am using a 22 then about 200 rounds just in case. If I am hunting hog? As much large caliber ammo as I can carry without bogging up to my knees, and still be able to climb a tree. etc etc

Normally carry 10-12 wheter hunting deer with a SG or Rifle. Normally have a box in the truck or cabin. Most every fired in one day was 9 but we wouldn't get into that. Normally a full weapon plus a full replacment will do.

LOL, I blew that one....said 9-12. that is in rifle and on me. In camp, I've generally got 2 boxes for primary and backup. Also have my range bag w/bore sighter.

I usually carry a full magazine and two refills for deer because there are many coyotes about.

For small game with the shotgun, I load up and carry a dozen more rounds in the pocket loops.

Magazine holds 5, usually 5-10 more in my pack and 20-40 in the truck.

I usually take 8 rounds with me. 1 in the chamber and 7 in my butt stock shell holder- there is usually a full box of 50 in the truck- my reloads- or however many happen to be left in that box.

Well I should have read the comments then voted. I just thought rifle and answered the question. I did not indicate the model 66 that I always carry on the belt with two cylinders full or the shotgun shells if bird hunting. If I take my clays cart bird hunting, which I normally do, then I can and do carry several flats of shells of different velocity and shot size. No sense going to a pigeon shoot or crow hunt with the wrong shells...:D :D
Best,

Depends on which model 100 I am carrying
 

The 308 model 100 Winchester holds 5 in the clip and I carry 2 clips.

The 284 only holds 4 in the clip so only 8 total with two clips.

Usually around 12 counting 6 in the .44 ruger redhawk and 1 in the spout of my kimber 270 wsm and 2 in the mag. with 3 extra 270 rounds in my pocket. But for one of my antlerless rifle seaon tickets this year Im going to try my new toy. A CZ550 magnum in 416 Rigby I tested some loads for it yesterday. They consist of 300 gr Triple shock X bullets over 92 grs of Imr 4350. A 3 shot group went into 1 1/4 " @ 100 yds 3 " above point of aim. Which is right on at 200 yds. usings the iron sights on the rifle. Man I cant wait.
