How do you carry .22 ammo.

[mcwoodduck]

I  carry mine in either a ziplock or just dump some in my front pocket.

MC,
I've not yet washed my ammo. I have washed my turkey calling diaphrams a few times. I can tell ya from experience that Tide or whatever fabric softner my wife buys don't taste that well...

Like being punnished as a little kid for saying a bad word.
 
And when I was in school and would head to the house in NC for breaks my step mother, was a clean freak and would wash all of our hunting clothes if we had any mud on them (since we hunted in the swamp that was often) and I can nottell you how many wallets, pocket knives, ammo, hunting license, and how much money that woman as washed.

When carrying my tube fed Marlin 39a, I just carried some in a box, in a vest pocket.
 
However in the last 2 weeks, I bought a little H&R sportster single shot.  This is what I fabricated.
 

 

 
I just took a centerfire holder off one of my rifles, and had it stitched down to hold .22 rimfires.  If I stuff it clear full, it will hold 32 rounds.

Years ago when I first ran across the Uncle Mikes belt pouch I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then I wanted something more sturdy so I had a local leather crafter build several of these for me.

Skoal can, leaves the bullets minty fresh.

Dog  "had it stitched" means you told the wife what to do, right. Wasn't it hard to get a sleeve like that on a sewing machine?

[Mad Dog]

Actually I took it to a buddy that runs a leather and shoe repair shop.  He had the equipment to stitch it without cutting the main under stitching.  Cost me a whoppin $8.

It is hard to beat home made. Over the years my wife has sewed up a lot of concotions for me from ARMY suplus stores. The old shirts with the sleeves cut out and the extra fabric used for pocket material.
You can make--well, she can, I can't make nuttin--the pockets any sized you want and add velcrow to keep them closed.
She made me a pouch for golf gloves in 1976 that I still use for gloves.
Those shirts make for excellent vests and pockets any way you want them and any place on the vest  you want them. I had two she made for me to wade fish in and they hold more lures than any store bought vest I have seen.
I vote for old shirts made into vests.
Blessings

In my ammo safe I keep my 22 shells in a 50 cal. ammo can. I dump the ammo in loose and when I go to the range I've got an old Uncle Mike's belt pouch w/zipper that will hold about 500 loose rounds. When the pouch runs low I get out the ammo can and dig out the shells by the handfull until the pouch is full again. Works for me.

[smokehouserex]

 
  I carry mostly, loose in my pocket. If I am going out for a long while I put them in a leather pouch with a draw string, My grands got them at Cherokee NC, played with them a few times and I adopted them (pouches) for ammo. Reminds me of Jack Elam in one of the Duke's Movies, carried his shotgun shells in a pouch and rope around his neck.LOL  It works pretty good.
  I have used plastic flat boxes with cloth liners glued in to buffer the noise, used it with my muzzle loading stuff in my possibles bag also.
 
 mcwoodduck:
  I use my ditty bag for shoe shine stuff. That thing is tough, got it in 1964, still has no holes.LOL USN

I do a lot of hunting with my Encore .22 Pro Hunter and have found that the Tuff Product Quick Strips work pretty well for holding rounds securely in a pocket and keep them from rattling around.   Looks like they make a holster for the strips as well, but I haven't tried that...

[keith44]

well, the .22lr just ride in a pocket.  If I plan to shoot alot a slide top box in a hip pocket, if I am just wanting some extras a few loose in a pocket.  Now my .22 Magnum has been problematic since the box in a pocket requires a large pocket that is not always available.  7 shot clips, one in the gun and 2 spares in a pocket are a plus but leave the clips open to damage, dirt, etc.  sooo


I'm getting a couple of these:

one will be modified as needed to hold the clips, and the other will hold loose shells

Those old Uncle Mike's pouches remind me of belt pouches some folks I work with use to have a pair of rubber gloves handy. If you cant find the Uncle Mike's pouches give these a look:

Also check the right hand column. They have quite a few styles of these pouches.

Tupperware! You can find all sizes and shapes. I have some that are larger and some smaller that I use depending on the need. The smaller ones I use to take hunting when only taking 50 or so rounds with me. I line them with the rubber stuff you put in the bottom of tool boxes and there is no sound at all.

[cwlongshot]

I am axed at some of your inginuity!!!

I am also suprised this went two pages and counting!! LOL

The "CCI" boxes work great as is. At two of the ranges I shoot at the collect them for shooters to reuse! Just last night at a match I saw a box of them near one of the exits with a sign asking for them!

I save those CCI boxes for other stuff too. They are great for odds and ends. I have one in my range box that contains small allen wrenches for sight adjustment and extra screws and lock tite

[sachel.45]

I have one of those uncle mikes pouches but I mostly use one of these

This one looks interesting, may have to look into this


http://www.ammoboxes.com/w30-22-41.html


organized, and quiet, how quietly can it be opened??  I mean if you are hunting with a single shot and need to reload with a squirrel 15 or 20 feet away can you get away with it? or are you heard opening the box??

Kieth,

I mentioned that one last page. I like it allot for extra ammo in the pack or with the single shot. I don't find it so useful with a repeater. But with the single shot I do like it allot.

It's not real easy to oPen. But it opens and closes positively.

I have used them for my revolvers for years. Just recipe fly bought four in RF for the 17m2/17 HMR /22and 22Mag

[tjeffords]

for the range and storage this is what i use.

[jpshaw]

When hunting with the 10-22 sometimes I just load the mag with 10 and go.  If it's going to be a long day I will dump a few in a shirt pocket.  I know, you gotta hold your shirt to pick up a tree rat.

[upnut]

I keep an MTM Caseguard ammo wallet loaded up and ready to go at a moments notice, they work well!
 

 
They work with LR, WMR, and HMR.....Scott B.

[jpshaw]

I have two of those in centerfire.  Didn't even know they made them in rimfire.

[45-70.gov]

pill bottles
they are water proof too

[gunnut69]

 For hunting theMTM ammo wallets work great, combined with a spare mag for the CZ. The squirrels better beware.
