Bullet Pouch

Well-Known Member
Maybe im growing up, or something. But I am starting to dislike the Cheek bag thats on my rifle at the moment, it just pickes up larch needles when going through thick cover, and looks a bit foolish.

So now Im looking for a bullet pouch/holder/wallet. It must hold ten rounds, be silent, as weatherproof as possible, very durable and secure. Oh and definatley not black leather, I simply hate it.

At the moment Im thinking http://www.bds.org.uk/product560.html, but I might be swayed ;)

Any ideas chaps?

Sam, Ash has said that he uses vegetable tanned leather, not the chemically tanned stuff you get commercailly. Beware of the Chem leather, it turns your ammo a funny colour.

Without getting it out and taking more photos those are all I have of it. It fits on the belt if you want or pops into a pocket.
 
Thanks Brit, I can see the pics now. Looks good, certainly one to bare in mind ;)


:D

I was a bit puzzled there for a moment, but I see you actually mean a stalkers' ammunition or cartridge pouch!:D

Mine is a folding leather one, with leather pockets, rather than elastic, for the rounds; and was made by a US firm called Galco.
http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterP3.asp?ProductID=1261&CatalogID=12
One US firm refused to ship it the UK because of the Federal ban on of the export of tactical items. They said they would ship to my sister's address in Brooklyn, but only if she and I both signed in triplicate an undertaking not to export the item to the UK.
Needless to say, I found another firm with a less catholic view of the term 'tactical'!

It is far from silent, being held closed by press-studs. However, even though my rifles are moderated, the press-studs are quieter, and I usually open the case shortly after firing. I'm not sure whether veg tanned or otherwise, but I wouldn't store rounds in it anyway.

The smartest ones I've seen are these http://www.titanium-gunworks.de/patronenetuis/index.html which would indeed be silent, having a capstan fastening. The English version of the website is incomplete and doesn't show the 10-round folding model. Not cheap.

I bought a FAC/SGC wallet from this ELK bloke, who also makes a cartridge wallet (notwithstanding what he thinks it should be called)

If you think that's ridiculous, have a gander at this: http://www.exportlawblog.com/archives/1850

The big problem on exports from the US is that there is no list of prohibited products, only prohibited classes of products. This means everyone is conservative (with a small 'c') in case they export something that the enforcement agencies subsequently decide is prohibited.

Bullet wallet

SAM i use three different wallets as it stops me taking the wrong ammo for the rifle in a rush.
Garlands green neoprene from bushwear holding 14 rounds at £8.50
Cammo allen wallet also holding 14 from bushwear at £7.99
RWS wallet from my local gun shop holding 10 rounds for about £20.00

All three seem to do the job fine but i recently saw a wallet made by ash243 and the looks and build quility was superb and i have no hesitation recommending one of his :thumb: .
 
Forgive the ignorance but what's a 'cheek bag'? :confused:

What I seem to be learning is that a good proportion of the stuff I bought when starting up is utterly useless in the field. :(

It's the most annoying thing but almost everything I thought would be handy has turned out, in the heat of the moment to be completely annoying/useless/clumsy. Most of this has come from vermin/foxing on my own... struggling about in the dark like a muppet I decided that I no longer need two batteries around my waist, a bipod, ammo carrying 'attachments' on the stock of the rifle. If you are trying to find fox calls at the same time as lamping as handling a loaded rifle safely and lamping and glassing.... no.

In Croatia last year I was following our host several paces behind. He had his rifle slung over his shoulder 'continental style' with the barrel pointed straight forward and the sling loosely draped over his shoulder with a string of ammunition stuck into elastic loops along the sling.

After following his footsteps for several hundred yards and making two 'pickups' of live 8x57 dropped along the way he shrugged at me and pocketed them instead. :rolleyes:

My advice probably ends up the same as all the old hands that have already tried all this stuff and are now laughing at us :oops: ...

Extra ammo = in something that stops it rattling in a designated pocket. Job done.

http://www.aimfieldsports.com/DragbagsandMats.htm Bottom left of this page. I agree that the external ammo on the stock is not a good idea, With the Cheek bag thingy of mine the ammo sits on the inside with a fox call, lens cleaner and thats about it now. Oh and a pair of latex gloves for gralloching. As I said at the start Im going of the idea fast - as you say I can do withoutit - so why have it?


Current favourite is either the RWS or the Naiper (from BDS).

I use the same Garlands green neoprene from bushwear as Rick O'Shea. It holds 14 rounds and can clip to a belt.
 
This is the worlds quietest ammo holder made of "walked" felt a bit like felt insoles but has a tighter weave. They come in different capacities and they will make one to suit you also.
100 percent satisfied with them, link below

Thanks BB,

I really like the look of the Patronenetui PE 5, about £15 is a bargain. I think I will go with that one, have you any ideas about shipping/tax and things?


Thanks very much
